Why Magnesium?
Magnesium alloy: favourable mechanical properties of a robust Magnesium backbone
Robust Magnesium backbone
The mechanical strength of Magnesium is superior to polymers like PLLA.1
Stable recoil
Magmaris® RMS has a 38% lower recoil after 1 hour.2
Strong radial resistance
No significant diameter change under increasing physiological pressure.1
Rounded edges and smooth surface
The electropolished rounded edges and smooth surface of the Magmaris scaffold generate less resistance during delivery of the scaffold to the lesion.
