An absorbable iron-based alloy medical device implant, comprising an iron-based alloy substrate (11) and a degradable polymer (13) provided on a surface of an iron-based alloy substrate (11), and a zinc-containing protective member (12) provided on the surface of the iron-based alloy substrate (11). The zinc-containing protective member (12) is either a zinc compound or a mixture comprising the zinc compound and at least one of a phosphate-containing compound, a degradable binder, or a water-soluble binder. The weight ratio of the zinc compound in the mixture is ‰¥ 20% and <; 100%. The zinc-containing protective member (12) can delay corrosion of the iron-based alloy substrate (11) during an early stage of medical device implantation. The iron-based alloy substrate (11) is essentially corrosion-free during the early stage of medical device implantation, and is therefore able to satisfy clinical requirements of mechanical performance during the early stage of medical device implantation.
