“…NiTi has low toxicity, corrosion resistance, superelasticity, and biocompatibility, making them promising candidates for coatings on reconstructive surgery implants [ 13 , 14 ]. A NiTi surface coating also has a high potential for additional biomedical applications in stents, equipment and tools, staples, and dental wires [ 3 , 4 , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] ]. Passivation of the surface oxide layer on NiTi is a method to counteract the high reactivity of titanium, thereby minimizing corrosion and the release of nickel ions [ [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] ].…”
