Abstract
A method for preparing a biological material for implanting provides irradiating at least a portion of the surface of the material with an accelerated Neutral Beam.
Claims10
A method for preparing a biological material for implanting, said method comprising:
- providing a reduced pressure chamber;
- forming a first accelerated neutral beam within said reduced pressure chamber;
- providing a holder within said reduced pressure chamber for holding a biological material;
- positioning said biological material in said holder in said reduced pressure chamber;
- and
- irradiating at least a first portion of a surface of said biological material with said first accelerated neutral beam, wherein said biological material undergoes a change in properties;
- wherein the first accelerated neutral beam is separated from a first accelerated gas cluster ion beam.
