Disclosed are medical prosthetic devices or medical implants which exhibit
improved biocompatitibly. The devices or implants include a metal
material, e.g. titanium, in which the metal surface parts are coated with
a corresponding hydride material that contains one or more biomolecule
substance. This biomolecule substance may contain one or more
biologically active molecules, e.g. bio-adhesives, biopolymers, blood
proteins, enzymes, extra cellular matrix proteins, extra cellular matrix
biomolecules, growth factors and hormones, peptide hormones,
deoxyribonucleic acids, ribonucleic acids, receptors, enzyme inhibitors,
drugs, biologically active anions and cations, vitamins, adenosine
monophosphate (AMP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), adenosine triphosphate
(ATP), marker biomuolecules, amino acids, fatty acids, nucleotides (RNA
and DNA bases), or sugars.
