About
Description New alloy composed of magnesium with 0.8% weight of calcium that is similar density to bone, which is biodegradable in the human body. Additionally, the degradation rate of the alloy is controllable by utilizing a hybrid dry cutting hydrostatic burnishing technique. Technology Synergy of a novel biodegrable material and a material processing method. Advantages Closer stiffness to that of bone. Can reduce or eliminate stress sheilding. Eliminates revision surgeries.
