A method for structuring a surface of an implant (100) made from a plastic material by means of a counter-body (200) comprises the following steps: providing (S110) of a counter-body (200) including a surface (210); forming (S120) of a first surface structure (212) on the surface (210) of the counter-body, wherein a first surface structure (212) comprises a non-regular, randomly distributed pattern; and forming (S130) of a second surface structure (112) on the implant (100) by using the counter-body (200), wherein the second surface structure and the first surface structure (212) are complementary to each other.
A method for structuring a surface of an implant (100) made from plastics by means of a counter-body (200), comprising the following steps:
A counter-body (200) for forming a structured surface (112) on a plastic implant (100), including:
An implant (100) comprising plastic material, wherein in the plastic material a surface structure (112) with the non-regular, randomly distributed pattern of structural elements is formed, which comprise maximal dimensions in a range of 0.5 μm to 300 μm, and an average structural size between 5 μm and 20 μm.
