Abstract:
A method for electrochemically depositing discrete regions of calcium phosphate onto a medical implant. The method includes providing an implant including at least one area having a metallic surface. At least a portion of the metallic surface is contacted with an electrolyte solution comprising calcium ions and phosphate ions. The metallic surface is used as a cathode, and an electrical potential is applied between the cathode and the electrolyte solution. The electrical potential is applied with a constant current density of from about 10 to about 50 mA/cm2 for a period of time of from about 1 to about 20 minutes. A plurality of discrete regions of needle-shaped hydroxyapatite crystals are electrochemically deposited onto the metallic surface.

A biomimetically produced bone-analogous coating, comprising organic and inorganic main constituents, is suitable for coating metallic implant materials of any desired surfaces. The coating comprises a collagen matrix mineralized with calcium phosphate.
Abstract:
The invention describes an article made from chitosan-coated metal, where an impermeable chitosan layer having a barrier action is present on the metal through electrochemical polarisation in a chitosan-containing solution. The incorporation of biologically active components into the chitosan coating enables the coating to be matched to various applications and the bio-compatibility of correspondingly modified surfaces to be increased. Metallic articles or surfaces coated in this way are used, for example, as material for medical implants.
