Abstract

See full text

In a coated implant that releases silver ions in the human body and thereby has an antimicrobial effect, a first surface component of the coating is formed by an anode material. A second surface component of the coating is formed by a cathode material. The cathode material is higher in the electrochemical voltage sequence than the anode material. The cathode and the anode are connected with one another in an electrically conducting manner. Together with the body electrolyte in the vicinity of the implant the anode and the cathode material form a plurality of local galvanic elements.
