Abstract: Zinc-based alloys are emerging medical degradable materials in recent years and are expected to be used in medical devices such as cardiovascular stents and bone implants. Zinc is an essential nutritional element of the human body, has good biocompatibility and suitable degradation rate in vivo, and has great potential to be a promising substrate for biodegradable alloys. However, the research on the design, processing, strengthening and degradation mechanism of biodegradable zinc-based alloys is still in its infancy, and a great deal of basic research is needed. In this paper, the biocompatibility, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance and other aspects of the research results of medical zinc-based alloys in recent years are reviewed based on the final standard of medical device products. The future research and development direction of zinc-based alloys are prospected as well.
