Abstract

Special metals showing shape memory are considered for use in contact with tissue. Basic criteria for them are devised. When a shape-memory material is used over long periods, one needs to combine porosity with good permeability and superelasticity. Only alloys based on TiNi are at present really promising for such porous elastic implanted structures.
