Abstract: A method of grafting a bioactive polymer on implants, the method comprising the following steps: a) mounting implants on a support structure; b) dipping the implants in a bath of acid; c) rinsing the implants; b) dipping the implants in an anodizing bath so as to anodize them; e) rinsing the implants; f) putting the implants into a polymerization chamber; g) mounting the implants on an elevator present in the chamber; h) actuating the elevator so as to dip the implants into a polymerization bath; i) subjecting the polymerization bath to a polymerization catalyst; j) raising the elevator from the polymerization bath; k) removing the implants from the elevator; l) extracting the implants from the chamber; m) washing the implants so as to remove any excess non-grafted bioactive polymer therefrom; and n) drying the grafted implants.
