What is a nitinol guidewire?

1. Overview
Nitinol is a Nitinol alloy known for its superelastic and shape memory properties. Nitinol guidewire have been widely used in the medical field, especially in minimally invasive surgery, because of their excellent flexibility and anti-kinking properties.

2. Function
- Superelasticity: recoverable after large deformation.
- Shape memory: Restore a preset shape at a specific temperature.
- Biocompatibility: suitable for long-term implantation in human body.
- Fatigue resistance: can withstand repeated bending, not easy to break.

3. Application field
- Cardiovascular intervention: coronary and peripheral vascular catheter guidance.
- Neurointervention: cerebrovascular surgical navigation.
- Urology: ureteral and kidney stone surgery.
- Gastroenterology: auxiliary catheter insertion during endoscopic surgery.

4. Technology development trend
- Material improvements: Improved durability and biocompatibility of the guide.
- Design optimization: Enhanced bootstrap handling and passability.
- Intelligent: Integrated sensor and navigation system to improve surgical accuracy.

6. Regulations and standards
- FDA Certification: The US market requires FDA certification.
- CE mark: In the European market must meet the CE standard.
- ISO standards: A quality management system such as ISO 13485 must be followed.

7. Challenges and opportunities
- Challenges: high production costs and technical barriers.
- Opportunities: development opportunities arising from growing demand in emerging markets and technological innovation.

8. Future prospects
With the advancement of technology and the popularization of minimally invasive surgery, the Nitinol guide wire market has broad prospects, especially in the field of emerging markets and technological innovation.
