regenerable

Able to restore

Regenerable describes something capable of being regenerated—restored, renewed, or regrown after depletion or damage.

The term appears most often in technical contexts: regenerable filters can be cleaned and reused, regenerable catalysts recover their activity, regenerable tissues heal themselves.

The liver is one of the few regenerable organs in the human body.
