Titanium nitride coating of pectus bar increases metal contamination after minimally-invasive repair of pectus excavatum.

Titanium nitride coating of pectus bar increases metal contamination after minimally-invasive repair of pectus excavatum.

<h4>Introduction</h4>Previous studies demonstrated a release of toxic metals, e.g. nickel and chromium, from stainless steel bars used for minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE). In the present study, we investigated the impact of titanium nitride coating on the metal rele...
