H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In a laboratory model, the present study suggests that the SrP conversion coating is a promising option for controlling the early rapid degradation rate, and hence hydrogen gas evolution, of Mg implants without adverse effects on surrounding cells and tissues. These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.
