Imeytettävällä

Imeytettävällä is a Finnish word that translates to "absorbable" or "susceptible to absorption" in English. It is primarily used in a scientific or medical context to describe substances or materials that can be taken into the body or another medium.

For example, in medicine, "imeytettävä lääke" refers to an absorbable drug, meaning a medication that is designed to be absorbed by the body, typically through the digestive system, skin, or other tissues, to exert its therapeutic effect. Similarly, "imeytettävä materiaali" might describe a biodegradable implant or surgical suture that the body gradually absorbs over time.

Beyond the medical field, the term can also be used in chemistry or materials science. A substance might be described as imeytettävällä if it readily takes up another substance, such as a porous material that can absorb liquids. The concept emphasizes the property of being able to be taken in or incorporated.
