Evaluation of the haemocompatibility of titanium based biomaterials

Coronary stents: A materials perspective

“…The Titan stent (Hexacath, France), which has implemented this coating technique has shown promising results in human clinical trials [39,40]. Also, Ti-based Ta and niobium alloys, which have potential applications for stents, showed excellent haemocompatibility [41]. One of the Ti alloys which is extensively used for making stents is Ni-Ti.…”

Effects of solution treatment and aging on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of a β type Ti–Ta–Hf–Zr alloy

“…[1][2][3][4] Apart from orthopedic and dental biomedical applications, biomedical titanium alloys are also being explored as cardiovascular stent materials. [5][6][7][8] In recent years, titanium alloy stents have been increasingly used in the treatment of stenosis in human body cavities. 7,8 The stents are divided into winding, mesh, and tubular stent types.…”

Tribological investigations of perfluoroalkylsilanes monolayers deposited on titanium surface

“…Because of the mentioned properties, these materials are used in many areas for example: in devices [7,8], biomaterials [9,10], optical cells, highly efficient catalysts and implants [11,12], cardiovascular application [13,14]. Some limitations in the exploitation of devices are large adhesion, friction and wear.…”
