SURFACE-MODIFIED IMPLANTS

摘要

The invention relates to an osteogenic implant having improved osteointegration properties. Said implant is made of titanium metal or of a titanium-base alloy and is suited for being implanted in bones. The implant has a roughened surface that, in a hydroxylated state, is at least partially covered with a compound containing at least two groups per molecule which, independent of one another, represent a primary amino group, a secondary amino group, a carboxyl group, an amide group, a phosphono group, and/or hydroxyl, or is at least partially covered with a mixture of such compounds.
