MD+DI -- Although nitinol has received a lot of attention for its use in stents, engineers aren’t able to take full advantage of the material because they simply don’t understand it. Ming Wu, PhD, vice president of engineering for advanced materials technology at Edwards Lifesciences, is hoping to educate device designers and engineers on what the material can do and how it can be used in today’s world. Wu is speaking during Session 203, Materials for Implants and Other Demanding Biomedical Applications, on Tuesday, February 8, during MD&M West.
