Abstract:
1. A method for the production of a metallic implant with a hydrophilic surface for at least partial insertion into hard tissue such as into a bone and/or into soft tissue, wherein the implant, possibly after a prior mechanically and/or chemically abrasive surface modification, is packaged sterilely, and is packaged in a combination package together with a container which contains an aqueous or organic solution of alkali- and/or alkaline-earth-hydroxides, or a mixture of these hydroxides, with a total concentration of alkali- and/or alkaline-earth-hydroxide in the range of 0.005M-0.5M, and wherein the implant is treated in the container by a method comprises at least one step, in which at least one area, which is provided for partial insertion into hard tissue as into a bone and/or into soft tissue, is subjected, optionally after an antecedent mechanically and/or chemically abrasive surface modification, to a short-time treatment in an aqueous or organic solution of alkali- and/or alkaline-earth-hydroxides, or a mixture of these hydroxides, with a total concentration of alkali- and/or alkaline-earth-hydroxide in the range of 0.005M-0.5M after release from the package only shortly before the insertion into the human body.
