Objective
Innovative method of coating temperature sensitive medical implant objects like plastic, foils, cables, tubes etc. with a thin layer of hydroxylapatite, bioactive glass or mixtures of both in order to receive biocompatible surfaces with good soft tissue anchoring. Tissue anchoring helps to reduce the phenomenon of implant rejection. This often takes the form of capsule formation, where a fibrous growth develops around the implant, which sooner or later underlie inflammations and infections. In this cases implants must be replaced. The objective is at least a 90% reduction of complications, by coating the implants. Health costs can be reduced Europe-wide (potential of some hundred million EUR/year) and international competition of European Medical Industry is expected to be improved.
