IMPLANT COMPRISING CALCIUM ON THE SURFACE THEREOF, AND METHODS FOR MODIFYING THE SURFACE OF AN IMPLANT FOR PROVIDING SAID SURFACE WITH CALCIUM.

摘要

The invention relates to an implant for a human body or animal body, that comprises, on the outer surface thereof, at least one calcium salt soluble in a polar liquid, and to various methods for preparing said implant. The calcium ions contained in the surface of the implant provide said surface with four chemically or biologically highly desirable properties: hydrophilicity, protection against atmospheric contamination, pro-coagulating property and pro-mineralising property.
