| abstract |
This invention concerns a porous composite for filling a recess or a through-passing hole in an implant. The composite is comprised of: particles A prepared from a bioactive material, and particles B prepared from a non-bioactive or weakly bioactive material, which is sintratable with the said bioactive material, wherein particles A and particles B have been sintered together to a porous composite. The invention is characterized in that the particles A and particles B are essentially homogeneous in size. The invention also concerns an implant, which is comprised of a core and the said composite. |
