Felszívható

Felszívható is a Hungarian adjective that translates to "absorbable" or "resorbable" in English. It describes a substance or material that can be taken up or assimilated by the body, typically through biological processes. This term is frequently encountered in medical and biological contexts, particularly in relation to sutures, implants, and drug delivery systems.

In medicine, felszívható materials are designed to be gradually broken down and eliminated by the body over time, eliminating the need for surgical removal. This is a significant advantage for applications such as surgical stitches, where felszívható sutures dissolve naturally as the wound heals. Similarly, felszívható implants, such as those used in bone grafting or tissue engineering, provide temporary support or scaffolding that is eventually replaced by the body's own tissues.

The concept of felszívható extends to pharmaceuticals as well. Felszívható drug delivery systems are designed to release medication gradually into the bloodstream or target tissues, providing sustained therapeutic effects. This can improve patient compliance and reduce the frequency of dosing. The chemical composition and physical properties of a felszívható material determine its absorption rate and the body's response to it. Research in biomaterials continually seeks to develop new felszívható substances with tailored properties for various medical and scientific applications.
