Abstract
The invention relates to a method for modification of a biocompatible component. The method of the invention includes the steps of a) providing a biocompatible component at least partly covered by metallic oxide; and b) treating at least a part of the component, which part is covered by the metallic oxide, with an aqueous composition that includes oxalic acid; whereby a modified metallic oxide, is obtained. The invention also relates to a biocompatible component-including a substrate having a surface with a) a microstructure including pits separated by plateus and/or ridges; and b) a primary nanostructure being superimposed on the microstructure, the primary nanostructure having depressions arranged in a wave-like formation.
