POROUS METALLIC LAYER FOR COVERING AT LEAST PARTLY IMPLANT SURFACES

摘要

1. A porous metal capping providing at least partial covering of metal implant, surfaces, more particularly of fixing elements for endoprotheses, the capping comprising a number of layers of wire meshes (5a-5c) which are disposed one above another, the pore size of the discrete layers decreasing from the outside towards the surface of the implant (1), characterised in that the layers (5a-5c) of the wire meshes (5) are disposed on an intermediate plate (4) securable to the implant surface.
