resorberbare

Resorberbare is an adjective used in biology and medicine to describe a material or tissue that can be resorbed by the body. A resorberbare substance gradually breaks down and is absorbed, typically through hydrolysis, enzymatic action, or cellular processes, and is cleared from the site as healing progresses. In English, the term is uncommon; the standard term is resorbable.

Resorberbare is central to resorbable implants, sutures, and scaffolds designed to support a healing phase and then disappear as native tissue regenerates. In dentistry and orthopedics, resorbable materials provide temporary mechanical support while minimizing the need for device removal after healing.

Materials and examples: Resorbable polymers such as polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, and their copolymers (PLGA) are widely used. Other resorbable options include polycaprolactone, collagen, and gelatin-based products. Degradation occurs via hydrolysis or enzymatic activity, with the rate influenced by polymer chemistry, crystallinity, molecular weight, and local tissue conditions.

Regulatory and safety considerations: Predictable degradation timelines and complete resorption without excessive inflammatory response are essential. Potential issues include inflammatory or foreign-body reactions, rapid loss of mechanical support, and accumulation of degradation products. Materials are evaluated through preclinical testing and clinical trials before medical use.
