  • Treatment of implants with phosphonic acid compounds
    Patent number: 11000627
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of treating an implant, comprising a step of treating the surface of the implant with at least one phosphonic acid compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester or amide thereof under sonication at a temperature of about 50° C. to about 90° C. This process is highly advantageous in that it allows the formation of a monolayer of the phosphonic acid compound on the implant surface, having a particularly dense surface coverage which, in turn, results in an improved implant biocompatibility and improved osseointegration.
    Type: Grant
