A method for producing a biocompatible material of the formula NaKNbO, 0&#x2266;x&#x2266;0.8, 0.2&#x2266;y&#x2266;1, x+y=1 includes the steps of a) providing a Na-precursor and a K-precursor for NaKNbO, b) mixing the precursors in solution wherein said precursors first react to form a sol and thereafter a gel, c) heat treating the gel to obtain an oxide of the material NaKNbO, 0&#x2266;x&#x2266;0.8, 0.2&#x2266;y&#x2266;1, x+y=1. The material can be produced as a film, and the material or film can be provided on the exterior surface of a medical implant that will come into contact with body tissue and/or body fluids upon implantation thereof.
