RESOLOY®

The resorbable magnesium alloy for scaffolds

With RESOLOY® MeKo offers a bioresorbable magnesium-alloy with extraordinary properties. RESOLOY® is an attractive alternative to polymer scaffolds. In comparison to PLLA, it offers about 3 times higher strength, thinner struts, a higher radial force and is applicable for direct stenting. The degradation time of RESOLOY® is adjusted by coatings. It has a proven biocompatibility, no shelf life and no temperature issues.

Degradation-test lab

Degradation Test Lab (DTM)

MeKo performs in-vitro degradation tests for magnesium scaffolds:

  • simulated blood circulation
  • controlled flow rate, pressure, pulsation and temperature of circulation
  • blood substitute solution for standardized tests: PBS, SBF, ...
  • accelerated in-vitro degradation tests
    •    fast and reproducible evaluation of degradation
    •    monitoring and visualization of degradation process
    •    prediction of in-vivo degradation behaviour
