Bioresorbable metal

Bioresorbable (also called biodegradable or bioabsorbable) metals are metals or their alloys that degrade safely within the body.[1] The primary metals in this category are magnesium-based[2][3] and iron-based alloys,[4] although recently zinc has also been investigated.[5][6] Currently, the primary uses of bioresorbable metals are as stents for blood vessels (for example bioresorbable stents) and other internal ducts.
