China's Twelfth "Five-Year Plan" has announced that, until 2015, biomedical materials such as bio-ceramics and medical metals will increase significantly in China. Regarding biomedical materials projects, the Plan clearly points out that the State will vigorously develop medical metals and alloys such as medical polymer materials, bio-ceramics, and other related products to meet the demand for artificial organs, vascular stents and implants. This will promote the field of materials technologies, life sciences and clinical trials, as well as reduce R&D risks and production costs.
