Abstract:
1. A method for the production of a metallic and/or ceramic implant with a structured surface for insertion into hard tissue, such as into a bone, and/or into soft tissue, comprising: using a molding process in a mold-tool to form a green body from a starting material, said molding process selected from the group consisting of: cold-isostatic compression, casting and/or injection molding, and subsequently sintering the green body to form an implant, wherein prior to sintering, the surface of said green body is changed and/or prepared such that after the sintering a structured surface in the form of a macroporous and/or macro-structured surface is present, and wherein said changed and/or prepared surface of said green body is obtained by a blasting modification of an inner surface of said mold-tool with an abrasive and/or surface-densifying blasting agent, prior to said molding process.
