The Controllable Hydro-Reactive Magnesium Alloy, designed by Tung-Lin Tsai, has revolutionized medical technology with its innovative biodegradable properties.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Taiwanese designer Tung-Lin Tsai has developed the Controllable Hydro-Reactive Magnesium Alloy, a groundbreaking material that has been recognized with several international awards, including the Red Dot Design Award in Germany, the Golden Pin Design Award in Taiwan, and The R&D 100 Awards in the USA. The alloy leverages the metabolizable and non-toxic properties of magnesium, zinc, and calcium to alter the entropy values of the alloy, allowing precise control of its degradation rate based on its application, thereby improving its stability and mechanical properties.
By modifying the mixing entropy value of the alloy, the Controllable Hydro-Reactive Magnesium Alloy breaks through the controllability that cannot be accomplished by existing technology and improves the poor corrosion resistance of traditional magnesium alloys. It can replace traditional magnesium alloys with aluminum, tin, rare earths, and other elements that threaten human health, achieving the purpose of alloy design by strengthening the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the alloy itself, as well as uniform and controlled degradation.
The Controllable Hydro-Reactive Magnesium Alloy is the world's first innovative material with a precisely controlled degradation rate, allowing it to be completely absorbed by the human body and discharged from the system with body fluids, eliminating the need for a second surgery to remove it. The alloy is safe for biomedical applications, has human affinity and biodegradability, and can help patients stimulate bone cell activity, resist the corrosive effect of body fluids, and eliminate the Stress Shielding Effect.
