Abstract: The invention relates to an implant and a set for producing an implant and their uses. Furthermore, the invention describes a method of making an implant as per the invention. An implant for producing bone implants with improved mechanical characteristics, especially with adjustable mechanical characteristics, is provided via the invention. The implant as per the invention made up of a fiber composite material contains resorbable mineral bone cement as the matrix material, to which reinforcing, long metal fibers and/or endless metallic fibers with an aspect ratio of at least 100:1 are added in the form of at least one fiber structure that provides a framework and that preforms the contour of the implant.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for producing a partial or complete bioactive coating of an iron and/or zinc based metal implant material with calcium phosphates, a bioactively coated iron and/or zinc based metal implant, which is partially or completely coated with calcium phosphates, and bone implants containing an implant material according to the invention. In order to produce the coating according to the invention, iron and/or zinc based metal implant materials are brought in contact with acidic aqueous solutions, which have a pH value of 6.0 or less and contain calcium phosphates, whereby a calcium phosphate layer is deposited on the surface of the implant materials. The iron and/or zinc based metal implant materials, which are used in methods according to the invention, are materials consisting of base iron alloys or pure iron or materials that contain other substances, which are coated with pure iron, with a base iron alloy and/or with zinc.

Abstract: A metallic object has a coating made of a thin metal oxide layer and nucleic acids or nucleic acid derivatives bonded thereto. The nucleic acid compounds have 5?-terminal or 3?-terminal molecule areas that are incorporated stably into the metal oxide layer. The unincorporated areas of the nucleic acid compounds that are not incorporated into the metal oxide layer are freely accessible for subsequent interactions with other molecules such as complementary nucleic acids having active ingredients attached thereto.

Abstract: A biomimetically produced bone-analogous coating, comprising organic and inorganic main constituents, is suitable for coating metallic implant materials of any desired surfaces. The coating comprises a collagen matrix mineralized with calcium phosphate.

Abstract: A metallic object, having a metallic substrate of a valve metal or a valve metal alloy inclusive of intermetallic phases, and a thin polyphase oxide coating, is disclosed. The polyphase oxide coating has a metal oxide phase and at least one other organic and/or inorganic phase. The polyphase oxide coating is produced by bringing the metallic substrate into contact with an organic and/or inorganic component to be integrated into the polyphase oxide coating such that the inorganic and/or organic phases are present at or in the direct vicinity of the substrate surface and by simultaneously or subsequently anodically polarizing the substrate material in an electrolytic solution.
