See full text

A surgical implant (10) includes a porous core part (11) made of a porous biocompatible material and a dense shell (12) made of a biocompatible material provided on a part of the surface of the porous core part which forms an interface with biological soft tissue. The dense shell shields the porous core from in-growth of soft tissue. The porous core part has open interconnected pores. A method of manufacturing a surgical implant includes the steps of: producing a porous core part, applying a viscous suspension on a part of the surface of the porous core part and applying a thermal treatment.
