Abstract
A method for producing osteo-integrating surfaces of skeletal implants that are made from metal or metal alloys and skeletal implants having osteo-integrating surfaces are provided. The method consists of the steps of coating the skeletal implant with an oxide layer by a high vacuum plasma coating process and subsequently applying a calcium hydroxyl apatite layer onto the oxide layer.
Claims10
A method for producing osteo-integrating surfaces on skeletal implants, said skeletal implants being made from metal or metal alloys, said method comprising the steps of:
- coating said skeletal implant with a layer of an oxide by a high vacuum plasma coating process, wherein in said high vacuum plasma coating process a plasma consisting of said oxide is generated and said plasma consisting of said oxide is deposited on said skeletal implant to form said layer of said oxide;
- and
- subsequently applying a calcium hydroxyl apatite layer onto said layer of said oxide.
A skeletal implant made from metal or metal alloy and having an osteo-integrating surface prepared by a process comprising the steps of;
- coating said skeletal implant with a layer of an oxide by a high vacuum plasma coating process, wherein in said high vacuum plasma coating process a plasma consisting of said oxide is generated and said plasma consisting of said oxide is deposited on said skeletal implant to form said layer of said oxide;
- and
- subsequently applying a calcium hydroxyl apatite layer onto said layer of said oxide.
