The Medical Instrument Institute of the Medical Appliances Industry Management Bureau under the Ministry of Public Health has recently developed an advanced biodegradable magnesium alloy.

Its official and researchers succeeded in developing and introducing the new internal fixing material with no postoperative side effects and good resolvability that overcame the limitation of the previous ones such as stainless steel and titanium alloy mainly used in the field of plastic and orthopaedic surgery.

They developed degradable osteosynthetic operating material by adding magnesium and different other alloying elements and then made the biodegradable magnesium alloy whose regulation of corrosion rate in human body and mechanical characteristics accord with the advanced level.

The new alloy made of domestic raw materials is superior to the previous biometals and of great economic effectiveness for its much lower production cost.

The institute is now putting spurs to the research for industrialization of the new material.
