Abstract
A method for manufacturing an implantable device is provided. The method includes laser nano-texturing a titanium surface. The method further includes applying an aqueous silver ion solution to form a silver ion complex on the nano-textured titanium surface. The method also includes reducing, using laser-assisted photocatalytic reduction, the silver ion complex to silver ion particles which are immobilized on the nano-textured titanium surface.
Claims7
A method, comprising:
- laser nano-texturing a titanium surface of a device configured to be at least partially implanted into a living subject;
- applying an aqueous silver ion solution to form a silver ion complex on the nano-textured titanium surface;
- and
- reducing, using laser-assisted photocatalytic reduction, the silver ion complex to silver ion particles which are immobilized on the nano-textured titanium surface.
