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, advantageously 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. |
