Abstract
Medical devices capable of exhibiting stress-induced martensite, but which do not exhibit stress-induced martensite during deployment or removal. The medical devices are sized and proportioned such that deformation of the device during deployment or removal is elastic, thus avoiding stress-induced martensite during deployment and removal. The use of stress-induced martensite materials decreases the temperature sensitivity of the devices. The SIM materials also allow the medical devices, while in use inside the body, to repeatedly deform and revert to their original shape at constant force without metal fatigue.
