| Core Tip |
Biodegradable Zn alloy can be prepared with adequate strength, ductility, biodegradability, and biocompatibility for use as surgical staples by alloying with ≤1 wt.% Mn or Cu and 0.1 wt.% Ti. Immersion tests reveal no gas evolution or staple fracture. In vivo, none of the Zn alloy staples cause technical failure, and all rabbits survive without complications. The degradation times are sufficient for wound healing. The degradation rate is increased under low pH conditions, suggesting staples used for resection or anastomosis of gastrointestinal tracts would degrade faster, as they are exposed to acidic digestive fluids. |
