METHOD FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SOFT TISSUE ATTACHMENT AND IMPLANTS MAKING USE OF SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for improving soft tissue attachment comprising the steps of coating a surface of a material, to which surface soft tissue is to be attached, with a coating rich in TiO>2< and/or SiO>2<, and applying said coating wherein soft tissue attachment is desired. The invention further relates to an implant wherein a surface or surfaces of said implant intended to be attached to soft tissue are coated with a porous coating rich in TiO>2< and/or SiO>2<. The invention also relates to the use of a porous surface coating rich in TiO>2<, SiO>2<, or TiO>2< and SiO>2<, for the manufacture of an implant for soft tissue attachment to said coating.
