TSU has created the most durable porous material for bone replacement
The staff of the Laboratory of Medical Alloys and Implants with Shape Memory at the TSU Siberian Institute of Physics and Technology has completed testing the porous alloy SHS-TiNi. The study of modified titanium nickelide, created for the manufacture of implants, showed its high biocompatibility and its maximum resistance to cyclic loads for porous materials. The next step will be technical and toxicological certification testing.
- Titanium nickelide is one of the most well-known materials with shape memory effect and is widely used in medicine, - says Ekaterina Marchenko, a senior researcher at the Laboratory of Medical Alloys and Implants with Shape Memory. - We got an alloy with high corrosion resistance. The functional characteristics were improved by modifying the gas medium in which the alloy is synthesized.
