Ickeabsorberbara

Ickeabsorberbara, meaning non-absorbable in Swedish, is a term used to describe substances or materials that cannot be absorbed by biological tissues, organisms, or metabolic processes, and that resist degradation in a given environment. The concept is applied across several fields, including medicine, materials science, and environmental science, and is defined by the persistence or resistance to breakdown rather than temporary presence.

In medicine and surgery, ickeabsorberbara materials are those that remain in the body over the long term after implantation or suturing. They are chosen when durable mechanical support or inertness is required. Common examples include non-absorbable sutures made from polymers such as polypropylene, nylon, or polyester, as well as implants and devices crafted from metals like stainless steel and titanium.

In materials science and environmental contexts, the term describes polymers or compounds that do not readily degrade under biological or environmental conditions. Non-absorbable materials may persist in ecosystems if not properly managed, raising considerations for durability, recyclability, and disposal. The distinction between non-absorbable and absorbable products influences regulatory, medical, and ecological decision-making, including issues related to long-term compatibility, chronic reactions, and waste management.
