The invention relates to a prosthesis component (11, 23) of a joint endoprosthesis. The prosthesis component (11, 23) comprises a sliding surface (19, 24) which is designed to form a sliding joint with a counter sliding surface (26) of another prosthesis component (11, 23). According to the invention, the sliding surface (19, 24) is formed by a sliding surface coating (20) applied to the body of the prosthesis component (10, 22), the sliding surface coating (20) having an antimicrobial effect. The sliding surface coating (20) according to the invention acts against microorganisms in the area of the sliding joint. |
