Alloy for biomedical use and medical product

A medical product, wherein

• a material of the medical product is an alloy that contains Zr as a main component, Nb the content of which is not less than 0.1% by weight and not greater than 25% by weight, Mo the content of which is not less than 0.1% by weight and not greater than 25% by weight, Ta the content of which is not less than 0.1% by weight and not greater than 25% by weight, and that has a tensile strength of not less than 1000 MPa, and a ratio (PMo/PTa) of a content PTa (% by weight) of Ta to a content PMo (% by weight) of Mo is not less than 1/20 and not greater than ⅓.

An alloy for biomedical use, the alloy consisting of:

• Zr as a main component in an amount of at least 80% by weight, Nb the content of which is not less than 0.1% by weight and not greater than 16% by weight, Mo the content of which is not less than 0.1% by weight and not greater than 10% by weight, Ta the content of which is not less than 0.1% by weight and not greater than 15% by weight, and unavoidable impurities, wherein
• a tensile strength of the alloy is not less than 1000 MPa.
