Are There Any Risks Associated with Nitinol in Gynecology?
While nitinol is generally safe, there are some potential risks to consider:
Nickel Allergy: Some patients may have an allergic reaction to the nickel component in nitinol. Fatigue Fracture: Although rare, repeated stress on nitinol devices can lead to fractures over time. Thermal Sensitivity: Nitinol's shape memory property is temperature-dependent, which could be a consideration during procedures that involve significant temperature changes.
