Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments include a method for promoting selective tissue attachment to medical implants. By treating implant surfaces where tissue attachment is desired with tissue attachment promoting treatments, and treating implant surfaces where tissue attachment is not desired with tissue attachment inhibiting treatments, selective tissue attachment to medical implants may be achieved. Also, embodiments include an implant with at least one tissue contacting surface and at least one secondary surface where tissue attachment is not desired, and appropriate tissue attachment promoting or inhibiting treatments on the surfaces.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for promoting selective endogenous tissue attachment to an osteoimplant, comprising: providing an osteoimplant having at least one endogenous tissue contacting surface where endogenous tissue attachment is desired, and at least one endogeneous tissue contacting surface where endogenous tissue attachment is not desired; treating surfaces of the osteoimplant where endogenous tissue attachment is desired with a tissue attachment promoting treatment;…
