[Use of thermoelectric properties of materials with shape memory in medicine].
Article deals with some possibilities of the combination of the shape memory and another physical properties of nitinol (Ti-Ni alloy) for application in the medicine. The thermoelectric properties of originally developed miniature thermocouple probe with the shape memory are described in details. The shape memory effect of the thermocouple is based on the use of the combination of the metals nitinol and constantan.
