In order to reduce infections, porous NiTi alloys with 62% porosity were obtained by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis with the addition of 0.2 and 0.5 at. % silver nanoparticles. Silver significantly improved the alloys' antibacterial activity without compromising cytocompatibility. An alloy with 0.5 at. % Ag showed the best antibacterial ability against Staphylococcus epidermidis. All alloys exhibited good biocompatibility with no cellular toxicity against embryonic fibroblast 3T3 cells. Clinical evaluation of the results after implantation showed a complete absence of purulent-inflammatory complications in all animals. Even distribution of silver nanoparticles in the surface layer of the porous NiTi alloy provides a uniform antibacterial effect.
