| abstract |
A method of preparing an implant body in order to optimize the healing time of said implant, comprising bringing the implant body for a limited period of time into contact with a hydrogen peroxide solution at least on the surfaces intended to come into contact with surrounding tissue when implanted, the treated surfaces being cleaned by rinsing. The treatment of the implant surface with hydrogen peroxide can be supplemented with incorporation of biomolecules, such as peptides, proteins and steroids, and also other substances such as inorganic ions and crystals. The compounds to be coupled to the implant surface may promote the healing and/or binding of the surrounding tissue. |
