Amid the global Nitinol medical device market’s robust growth at a 7.1% compound annual growth rate, Baoji Seabird Metal Material, a leading domestic manufacturer of Nitinol, will make a significant appearance at Medtec 2025, held from September 24-26 at Halls H1-H2 of the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Center. The company will present its ISO 13485-certified comprehensive range of medical-grade material solutions.
This year’s exhibition, expanded to 45,000 square meters, will bring together nearly 1,000 premium brands from 27 countries. As a leading enterprise with 25 years of expertise, Baoji Seabird Metal Material will center its showcase on the theme “Material Innovation Driving Medical Technology Upgrades,” demonstrating its full-chain capabilities from raw material R&D to precision component processing, underscoring the core value of Chinese manufacturing in the global medical supply chain.
Nitinol, hailed as a “smart material” in medical devices, is reshaping minimally invasive treatment technologies with its three core advantages: superelasticity, shape memory, and biocompatibility. At Medtec 2025, Baoji Seabird Metal Material will exhibit medical-grade Nitinol wires, plates, coils, and other products, with phase transition temperatures precisely adjustable from -20°C to 90°C to meet the performance requirements of various implant scenarios.
In the field of cardiovascular intervention, the company’s superelastic Nitinol stent material maintains structural stability after 100,000 fatigue tests, boasting an elastic modulus 96 times that of stainless steel. This enables precise vessel expansion and sustained radial support, significantly reducing the risk of restenosis. For orthopedic implants, the company’s Nitinol bone nails leverage body temperature to trigger shape memory effects, eliminating the need for secondary removal surgeries and shortening patient recovery time by over 30%.
At Booth 2T408 in Hall H2 of the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Center, Baoji Seabird Metal Material’s exhibit will feature three interactive zones to vividly demonstrate the technological properties of Nitinol. The “Shape Memory Demonstration Zone” allows visitors to operate Nitinol stents in a low-temperature environment and witness their precise expansion under simulated human body temperatures. The “Fatigue Testing Visualization Zone” showcases real-time data on product stability after tens of thousands of deformation cycles. The “Biocompatibility Lab” demonstrates surface treatment processes that create a biosafety barrier.
As a key participant in Medtec 2025, Baoji Seabird Metal Material brings not only technical exhibits but also the perspective and contributions of Chinese material companies to the global medical technology supply chain. As the company’s CEO stated, “In the face of growing global market opportunities, we look forward to leveraging this exhibition to showcase how ‘Made in China’ Nitinol technology can better serve global healthcare.” During the event, industry peers are warmly invited to visit the booth for discussions and collaborations to explore the transformative potential of material innovation in healthcare.
