The principles of alloy design of BioMg 250 will be described - including the roles of size and chemical misfit of Zn, Ca and Mn atoms in the Mg matrix and the special role of Mn. Then, in vivo pre-clinical test results in small and large animals will be presented. Most recently, Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) studies have progressed favorably in a canine model compared to Ti implants. Micro CT and histology information from that campaign will be presented.
