This project aims to develop stronger zinc alloys for a new class of biodegradable metallic stents. A key challenge for biodegradable stent technology is to make stents as thin as possible while also being strong. This project will develop ultra-high strength zinc alloys that can be used to fabricate thinner biodegradable stents for easier surgical operation. The project outcomes should be a major step in the design and development of a new generation of biodegradable stents that will avoid the risks associated with existing products and potentially create a better life for millions of patients worldwide.

该项目旨在开发更强的锌合金，用于新型可生物降解金属支架。生物可降解支架技术的一个关键挑战是使支架尽可能薄，同时也要坚固。本项目将开发超高强度锌合金，可用于制造更薄的可生物降解支架，以便于外科手术。该项目的结果应该是设计和开发新一代可生物降解支架的重要一步，该支架将避免与现有产品相关的风险，并可能为全球数百万患者创造更好的生活。
