Physical Object Defining Attributes

The following defining attributes correspond to the Physical Object Attributes Summary table.

Has absorbability

This attribute represents the absorbability aspect of an object.

For example,

- 705633004 |Bioabsorbable vascular stent (physical object)| Has absorbability value of 860574003 |Bioabsorbable (qualifier value)|

This attribute represents the material with which an object is coated.

For example,

- 717296006 |Polymer coated metal colonic stent (physical object)| Has coating material value of 412155002 |Polymer (substance)|

This attribute represents the material or substance of which an object is composed.

For example,
