RESOLOY®

The resorbable magnesium
alloy for scaffolds

MeKo - competence in contract manufacturing
of stents and vascular implants

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.

Study Confirms Functionality of the Magnesium Alloy RESOLOY®

Extensive in vitro and in vivo tests have been performed for a scientific study on the degradation of vascular scaffolds (bioresorbable stents) made from the RESOLOY® magnesium alloy.

The results confirm that the degradation time of RESOLOY® can be adjusted thanks to a double coating of fluoride and polymers. A significantly slower degradation is achieved in vitro compared to the Magmaris®. 

An additional advantage is that RESOLOY® degrades with no residue. The animal tests confirm the in vitro results from the test laboratory and demonstrate that RESOLOY® is highly biocompatible. The results of the published study demonstrate the high degree of safety and efficacy of the alloy.

Questions & Answers

What is the current lead time for a Resoloy® scaffold?
If MeKo has the material in stock, the normal lead time is about 4-6 weeks. There is always the possibility of an accelerated production reducing the lead time to about 10 days.
