Bone implant of tricalcium phosphate with mikroporous and macroporous structure, process for its preparation and its use

Abstract

Abstract 1. Bond implant of tricalcium phosphate ceramics having a microporous and macroporous structure, which is impregnated with at least one broad-band microbicide, characterised in that the degree of porosity is greater than 50% and the bone implant is covered with a coating which is compatible with the material and which biologically is slowly degradable, preferably consisting of a substance in the group of high-melting fats, polyglycolic acids, copolymers of polyglycolic acid and lactic acid, alkylated cellulose derivatives or high molecular weight starches and additionally contains silver ions incorporated into the crystal structure of the tricalcium phosphate.
