Nickel Titanium (NiTiNOL) is a metal alloy that consists of nearly equal amounts of nickel and titanium and has the unique ability to change shape and still fully recover back to its original geometry. It can display either shape memory or “super”elastic properties depending upon the composition and temperature.
MedShape has created a new paradigm for incorporating NiTiNOL into biomedical devices, opening up the door for a suite of new surgical solutions that actively participate in bone healing. We have leveraged the superelastic properties of NiTiNOL to create innovative devices that actively participate and respond to changes at the surgical site.

The DynaNail® TTC Fusion System is the only fusion approach that offers the compression performance of an external fixator inside an intramedullary nail. It features an innovative superelastic NiTiNOL Compressive Element that automatically adapts and responds to bone resorption or settling and maintains active compression throughout the healing process. Watch this instructional video to understand how the DynaNail TTC Fusion System maintains compression via its internal NiTiNOL Compressive Element. For more information, visit www.medshape.com.
The DynaNail Mini® Fusion System is a pioneering dynamic nail system designed for use in subtalar fusion procedures and other large bone fusion procedures. Similar to its larger predecessor, the DynaNail® TTC Fusion System, it features MedShape’s patented internal superelastic NiTiNOL technology that provides strong joint stability due to the maintained compression. Read this blog post to find out why the DynaNail Mini® is considered the ultimate choice in treating complex hindfoot pathologies.

The DynaNail® incorporates MedShape’s patented superelastic nickel titanium (NiTiNOL) technology that can respond and adapt to changes in the joints. Intra-operatively, the NiTiNOL Compressive Element is stretched into its activated state and recovers after surgeryin response to the healing process.
In this video, David Johnston shares about his experience and recovery after undergoing a tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) procedures with MedShape'sDynaNail® TTC Fusion System.
The results presented in this video are specific to this individual only. Individual results and activity levels may vary after surgery and also depend on many factors including age, weight, and prior activity level.

How Would You Treat an Obese Smoker with a History of 4 Prior Failed Surgeries?
Kent Ellington, MD at OrthoCarolina Foot & Ankle Institute claims that "The DynaNail, with its dynamic compression NiTiNOL technology, has greatly changed the way he treats his patients. Not only are his patients achieving successful fusion when prior fusion surgeries have failed, but their quality of life has been greatly improving too.
