Abstract
The alloy development of bioabsorbable BioMg® 250 is described in terms of design of mechanical properties, biocorrosion rate and biocompatibility. The basic mechanistic role of microalloyig elements Zn, Ca and Mn is discussed as related to microstructures. In vitro corrosion and in vivo animal studies are reported. Finally, we list potential orthopedic applications in bone fixation devices fabricated from BioMg 250.
