Due to their biocompatibility, superelasticity, and corrosion resistance, binary and ternary NiTi (NiTiNOL) shape memory alloys (SMAs) are at the forefront of materials research for biomedical applications. The first half of the study reviews the biocompatibility and uses of NiTi SMAs. Traditional m...
