| Abstract Scope |
Bioabsorbable magnesium alloys have often been studied in the context of absorbing too fast, with the goal of obtaining a slower absorption rate for adequate use as a temporary implant material. While this is an important challenge to overcome, it oversimplifies the needs of surgeons and patients while not accounting for the requirements of various applications and the technological complexities of absorption. Through our presented work, we are building the magnesium alloy capabilities to engineer our alloy's bioabsorption profile to optimize implant performance based on requirements such as implant size, time to healing, and anatomical differences. |
