Surface treatment for an implant surface
First Claim
1. An implant system including an implant to be implanted into living bone, the implant being formed of a material comprising titanium, the implant comprising:
- a first surface geometry on a first portion of a surface of the implant, the first surface geometry including;
a first submicron topography including tube-like structures; and
a second surface geometry on a second portion of the surface of the implant, the second surface geometry including;
a first micro-scale topography;
a second micro-scale topography superimposed on the first topography, the second micro-scale topography being generally less coarse than the first micro-scale topography; and
a second submicron topography superimposed on the first and second micro-scale topographies, the submicron topography including the tube-like structures.

Abstract
An implant system and a method of forming the implant system including an implant to be implanted into living bone. The implant includes titanium. The implant includes a first surface geometry on a first portion of a surface of the implant and a second surface geometry on a second portion of the surface of the implant. The first surface geometry includes at least a submicron topography including tube-like structures and the second surface geometry includes a first micro-scale topography, a second micro-scale topography superimposed on the first topography, and a submicron topography superimposed on the first and second micro-scale topographies, the submicron topography including the tube-like structures.

16. A method of forming an implant system including an implant to be implanted into living bone, the implant being formed of a material comprising titanium, the method comprising:
-
forming a first surface geometry on a first portion of a surface of the implant, including; adding a first submicron topography to the first portion of the surface of the implant, the first submicron topography including tube-like structures; forming a second surface geometry on a second portion of the surface of the implant, including deforming the second portion of the surface of the implant to produce a first micro-scale topography; removing a portion of the second portion of the surface to produce a second micro-scale topography superimposed on the first micro-scale topography, the second micro-scale topography, being generally less coarse than the first micro-scale topography; and adding a second submicron topography superimposed on the first and second micro-scale topographies, the second submicron topography including the tube-like structures. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
