BioMg 250 is a microalloyed Mg-based alloy which can be strengthened by nutrient elements to reach yields strength levels greater than 300 MPa, while maintaining ductility of at least 10%. Its composition and processing have been optimized by in-vitro corrosion and toxicity testing. This presentation will report on follow-on in-vivo campaigns in animal models that demonstrate the bioabsorption rates, lack of toxicity (biocompatibility) and positive preclinical results of BioMg 250.
