19) Iron Manganese based Biodegradable Alloy Flashcards
1
Q
Context ?
A
Indian scientists have jointly developed new generation Fe-Mn based alloys for Biodegradable metal implants for use in humans
2
Q
What are these ?
A
The Biodegradable materials like Fe, Mg, Zn, Mn etc can participate in the healing process and then degrade gradually by maintaining mechanical integrity without leaving any implant residues in the human body
3
Q
How are they better than the existing ones ?
A
The current metallic implants which remain permanently in the human body can cause long term side effects like systemic toxicity, chronic inflammation etc
