Dr. Bernd Vogel, founder of Endosmart

„In my final thesis as a mechanical engineer, I was confronted with a challenge in the field of medical technology that could ultimately only be solved by the special properties of the shape memory alloy Nitinol. That gave me the opportunity to extensively study the material and its processing possibilities. Since that first meeting, an inseparable relationship developed between me and Nitinol, and the fascination continued. I was excited by the opportunities this material gave me in my research. Therefore, I became part of an international network of experts that took me not only to the most remote places in the world but also to the limits of technical feasibility.

Nitinol and medical technology became a perfect match and new paths were constantly being explored. The material offered everything required to reduce patient’s burden in major surgeries: Flexibility, durability, biocompatibility and also the unique ability to return to imprinted shapes.

This goal was my driving force to found ENDOSMART® 20 years ago – full of vision, optimism, and passion. And this has not changed until today! In cooperation with you, my team and I want to bring forth innovations that rethink existing therapies. We are your Nitinol expert!“
