An entirely or partially implantable medical product with a negatively charged surface for repulsing bacteria has a superficially bonded substance with a permanently negative excess charge, which substance is inert against cells of the human body and the bacteria contained therein.

A biocompatible polymer hybrid nanocomposite coating on a surface of a substrate, such as titanium and its alloys. The coating can be achieved by an electrostatic spray coating, preferably using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) as a matrix for the coating. For example, up to 2.95 wt. % carbon nanotubes can be used as reinforcement, as can up to 4.95 wt. % hydroxyapatite. A dispersion of CNTs and HA in the coating is substantially uniform. The tribological performance of such coatings include high hardness, improved scratch resistance, excellent wear resistance, and corrosion resistance compared to pure UHMWPE coatings.

A dental device is improved in its ability to produce hydroxyl apatite by having a layer of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) deposited thereon. A tile of MTA is prepared, heat treated and sintered to produce a micronized tile of MTA that can then be deposited by physical vapor depositions, hot isostatic pressing, molding or other conventional technique.

To provide a bioimplant capable of controlling a rate of an antibacterial agent and an antibiotic to be eluted from the coating film. An evanescent coating film made of a calcium phosphate-based material having crystallinity of 10% to 90% is formed at a predetermined area of the bioimplant and an antibacterial agent or an antibiotic is contained in the coating film to suppress adhesion of bacteria.
