Abstract
An implant, a method for production thereof, and use thereof for growing patients are disclosed, containing a Mg—Zn—Ca-based alloy. In order to meet extremely strict requirements with regard to compatibility, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength, it is proposed that the alloy contain 0.1 to 0.6 wt % zinc (Zn), 0.2 to 0.6 wt % calcium (Ca), and a remainder of magnesium (Mg), as well as impurities that are an inevitable part of the manufacturing process, which each total no more than 0.01 wt % and altogether total at most 0.1 wt %, with the quotient of the percentages by weight of Zn and Ca being less than or equal to 1.
Claims12
An implant for growing patients containing a Mg—Zn—Ca-based alloy, the alloy comprising:
- 0.1 to 0.6 wt % zinc (Zn),
- 0.2 to 0.6 wt % calcium (Ca),
- and a remainder of magnesium (Mg), as well as impurities that are an inevitable part of a manufacturing process, which each total no more than 0.01 wt % and altogether total at most 0.1 wt %, with a quotient of the percentages by weight of Zn and Ca being less than or equal to 1.
