Claims
- 1. Process for making, on osseous prostheses substrates, bioactive coatings based on calcium-deficient hydroxyapatites having a Ca/.sub.P ratio higher than 1.2, said process comprising the steps of forming, from aqueous solutions of dibasic calcium phosphate, a mist of droplets containing calcium ions and orthophosphate ions and bringing said mist into contact with the substrate made in an inert material appropriately heated, said process comprising the steps of:
- (1) placing an osseous prosthesis substrate made of an inert material on a support;
- (2) heating said support to between 250.degree. and 500.degree. C.;
- (3) atomizirgon said substrate a saturated aqueous solution of a dibasic calcium phosphate maintained at a temperature between 5.degree. and 30.degree. C., said solution being carried by air or by an inert atomizing gas under the form of a mist of droplets in such conditions that, for one cm2 of the substrate to be coated, the flow rate of the atomizing gas is higher than 4.5 l/min and the flow rate of the so-ution is higher than 200 ml/hr.
