Abstract
The invention relates to a method for surface treatment of a biocompatible metal material, such as an implant, which comprises the following consecutive steps: i) abrasive mechanical treatment of the surface of said material using abrasive calcium phosphate grains, such as a mixture of hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate; ii) acid treatment by hot dipping of said material in a bath comprising sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid, followed by at least one rinse with demineralised water; iii) sodic treatment by hot dipping of said material in a soda bath followed by at least one rinse with demineralised water and drying in hot air. The implant thus treated has a surface with increased roughness with a triple level of porosity (macro-, micro- and nano-porosity) as well as improved hydrophilic properties. The method can be used for implants made of titanium alloys, such as the TA6V ELI alloy.
