The degradation behavior of resorbable metallic materials is of central importance for the performance of e.g. magnesium implants. With the aid of suitable laboratory methods, newly developed alloys and implants are tested in vitro with regard to their long-term behavior in body-like conditions of use. The continuous further development of these methods makes it possible to obtain well-founded estimates of the expected service life of resorbable materials in living organisms at an early stage.
