| 摘要 |
A biodegradable implant is manufactured from a biodegradable glass material which contains a glass forming material and one or more metal oxides, the glass forming material being phosphorous pentoxide and alumina, and a metal oxide. The ratio of metallic elements in the glass is substantially the same as in the tissue into which the implant is to be implanted. This reduces the chance of rejection of the implant by the body. The glass may be produced in the form of a foamed body to provide a bone substitute. |
