摘要:
The invention provides a biocompatible component having a surface intended for contact with living tissue, wherein the surface comprises particles of metal oxide, said particleshaving an average particle size of less than 100 nm. A method for the production of such biocompatible component is also provided. It was found that the bioactivity of the biocompatible component was increased compare to a reference in that it induced earlier apatite nucleation in vitro. It is believed that by the biocompatible component may induce early hydroxyapatite nucleation in vivo and thus promote osseointegration of an implant.
