Claim 12:
13. A method for preparing an implant for implantation by increasing wettability of at least a portion of an implant surface of the implant, the method comprising:
placing the implant in a plasma chamber, wherein the plasma chamber includes a first electrode having a point and configured to apply a high voltage EM field capable of igniting plasma in the plasma chamber;
using at least a second electrode, electrically associated with a high voltage EM power source, generating plasma in a space adjoining the at least a portion of the implant surface, thereby rendering the portion of the implant surface hydrophilic;
removing the implant from the plasma chamber; and
implanting the implant.
