Abstract
The present invention relates to an implant comprising an implant body having a first surface area configured for contact with soft connective tissue and a second surface area configured for contact with bone tissue, wherein the first surface area is covered with a coating comprising tantalum and the second surface area is formed by a material, which is different than the one forming the coating.
Claims20
A method for producing an implant, comprising:
- providing an implant body, the implant body having a first surface area and a second surface area, the second surface area being configured for contact with bone tissue;
- and
- applying a coating comprising tantalum to the implant body's first surface area, the first surface area being configured for contact with soft connective tissue,
- wherein the second surface area comprises a material that differs from the one of the first surf ace area, wherein the structural material forming the second surface area is selected from the group consisting of titanium, a titanium alloy, CoCr, a CoCr alloy, Mo, an Mo alloy, and stainless steel.
