The present invention is related to a surgical implant (10) comprising aporous core part (11) made of a porousbiocompatible material and a dense shell (12) made of a biocompatible materialprovided on a part of the surface of the porous corepartwhich formsan interfacewithbiologicalsoft tissue. The dense shell shieldsthe porous core from in-growth of soft tissue. Theporous core part comprises open interconnected pores. The invention is equallyrelated to a method of manufacturing a surgicalimplant comprising the steps of: producing a porous core part, applying aviscous suspension on a part of the surface of the porouscore part and applying a thermal treatment.
