Nitinol stents are advanced medical devices designed for the treatment of various vascular conditions. Made from an innovative alloy of nickel and titanium, known as Nitinol, these stents offer exceptional flexibility, strength, and biocompatibility. The unique properties of Nitinol, including its superelasticity and shape memory effect, make these stents ideal for minimally invasive procedures. They are designed to expand and conform to the shape of the artery upon deployment, ensuring a secure fit and optimal performance. Our stents are engineered to meet the highest medical standards, ensuring reliability and effectiveness in clinical applications.

Application Areas
Nitinol stents are primarily used in the treatment of various vascular conditions, including:
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Nitinol stents are widely used in the coronary arteries to treat blockages caused by atherosclerosis. Their flexibility and ability to expand upon deployment make them ideal for navigating the complex and narrow arteries of the heart.
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD): These stents are also employed to manage blockages in peripheral arteries, such as those in the legs. They help restore blood flow and improve limb function, alleviating symptoms of claudication and rest pain.
Urological Applications: In urology, Nitinol stents are used for conditions such as ureteral obstructions or strictures. Their superelastic properties make them effective in maintaining open passages in the urinary tract.
Gastrointestinal Conditions: Nitinol stents are used in gastrointestinal procedures to treat esophageal strictures or malignant obstructions. They provide a durable and effective solution for maintaining lumen patency.
Endovascular Procedures: These stents are utilized in various endovascular interventions, including those for aneurysms or vascular malformations. Their shape memory effect ensures they conform perfectly to the target area, providing reliable support.
Features
Superelasticity: Nitinol stents exhibit a remarkable ability to return to their original shape after deformation, providing a reliable and consistent performance in various vascular conditions.
Shape Memory Effect: The stents can expand to their intended size upon deployment, offering a precise fit within the vessel or duct.
Biocompatibility: Nitinol is highly biocompatible, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions and ensuring a high degree of safety for patients.
Flexibility: The stents are designed to be flexible, allowing for ease of navigation through tortuous pathways in the vascular system.
Durability: Nitinol's inherent strength and resistance to corrosion ensure that the stents maintain their integrity and functionality over time.
Production Technology
Our Nitinol stents are produced using state-of-the-art manufacturing technology. The process begins with the precise alloy composition of nickel and titanium, followed by a rigorous heat treatment process to achieve the desired superelastic properties. The stents are then carefully shaped and sized using advanced laser cutting and machining techniques. Each stent undergoes thorough testing to ensure it meets stringent quality standards before being sterilized and packaged for distribution.
Quality Control
At Baoji Hanz Metal Material Co., Ltd., we adhere to the highest standards of quality control throughout the production process. Our quality management system is certified to ISO 13485, ensuring compliance with international medical device regulations. Each batch of Nitinol stents is subjected to rigorous testing, including dimensional checks, mechanical property assessments, and biocompatibility evaluations. Our commitment to quality ensures that every stent meets the highest standards of safety and performance.
