Abstract
The invention relates to implants that are implanted into living beings as temporary implants and that disintegrate in the body through biological adsorption over a period of time, in addition to a process for producing aforesaid implants. The implant according to the invention consists of magnesium or a magnesium master alloy. It is formed from fibers of magnesium or a magnesium master alloy that are connected to one another through sintering bridges that are locally spaced vis-à-vis each other and form an open-pored body. The fibers may be produced with the help of the melt extraction process and may subsequently be sintered with one another.
