Surface modification of Ni–Ti alloys for stent application after magnetoelectropolishing

Abstract: The constant demand for new implant materials and the multidisciplinary design approaches for stent applications have expanded vastly over the past decade. The biocompatibility of these implant materials is a function of their surface characteristics such as morphology, surface chemistry, roughness, surface charge and wettability. These surface characteristics can directly influence the material's corrosion resistance and biological processes such as endothelialization. Surface morphology affects the thermodyn… Show more

“…31 Since surface modifications can adjust the thrombogenic potential of Nitinol, researchers have been working on various coatings and modifications to reduce stent thrombosis or restenosis. [32][33][34][35][36] However, most of these modifications have been tested in vitro or ex vivo and further studies in vivo will be necessary to determine their benefit in reducing restenosis and thrombosis. A promising example of one of the surface modifications is treatment of Nitinol in glow-discharge low-temperature plasma, which allowed for better control of the crystalline structure of titanium oxide on the surface during manufacturing.…”
