The method of making an implant consists on coating of a supporting structure (1 ) with synthetic hydroxyapatite by immersing the supporting structure (1 ) in a suspension (3) and triggering of a cavitation in a portion of the suspension (3) being in contact with the supporting structure (1 ). The suspension (3) is formed by a liquid external phase, advagentaouslu water, and internal phase, i.e. particles of synthetic hydroxyapatite having an average particle size not exceeding 100 nm and containing structural water in an amount from 2 to 6% by weight. The implant is coated with the above described hydroxyapatite subjected to cavitation and a thickness of 50 nm to 1000 nm, advantageously 50 nm to 300 nm. |
