Abstract
Abstract In an implant having sliding surfaces which slidingly move toward each other one sliding partner (1) is made of a relatively soft material and the other sliding partner is made of a relatively hard material in comparison. The sliding surface (5) of the relatively soft sliding partner (1) is covered with supporting bodies (3) consisting of a hard material, especially of the same material as the hard sliding partner. Abrasion of the soft sliding partner (1) is thereby considerably reduced without any significant change in its desirable properties, such as elasticity or damping capacity. <IMAGE>
