由镍和钛制成的具有形状记忆特性的新型生物材料已在上海研制、研究和使用，中国。自1981年以来，该材料已应用于临床265例，其中71例涉及骨科手术。我们的短期随访结果令人满意，无一例失败。这种新的生物材料具有独特的特性，能够在特定的转变温度下恢复到原来的形状，这一初步报告表明它有可能为外科研究开辟一个新的领域。目前正在进行研究，以发现特定用途的镍和钛的合适比例。医学界和工程界之间的兴趣和合作最终可能通过共同努力解决问题，并导致形状记忆生物材料的改进。
A new biomaterial made of nickel and titanium with its shape-memory characteristics has been manufactured, investigated, and used in Shanghai, China. Since 1981, this biomaterial has been used in 265 cases clinically, among which 71 involved orthopedic surgery. Results are satisfactory without failure in our short-term follow up. This preliminary report of the use of this new biomaterial with the unique characteristic of being able to recover to its original shape with particular transformation temperatures indicates its potential for opening a new field for investigation in surgery. Research to discover appropriate ratios of nickel and titanium for specific usage is underway. The interest and cooperation between the medical and engineering professions may eventually solve the problems through mutual efforts and result in improved shape-memory biomaterials.
