DISCONTINUOUS COATING METHOD USING A BIOABSORBABLE AND BIOACTIVE BIOMATERIAL APPLIED TO SOLID SUBSTRATES, DISCONTINUOUS COATING AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to the development of a discontinuous coating using a bioabsorbable and bioactive biomaterial (which can be a bioceramic, a biopolymer or a bioactive composite) applied to solid (smooth, rough or porous) substrates. This discontinuous coating should be totally consumed in up to 10 days after implantation, so that in the end only the interface of the newly formed tissue with the implant remains. The proposed discontinuous coating can be obtained by any method that allows depositing a continuous layer, once the process parameters are duly adjusted. The preferred method for applying this discontinuous layer is airbrushing or air atomizing. The preferred biomaterial is bioglass.
