the solvent is evaporated and the coating agent remains behind on the implant with the ultrahydrophilic surface and encloses the implant in that way the implant can reliably preserved for long term storage an embodiment of the solution with coating agent can be the above described aqueous salt solution which easily acquires salting out properties upon evaporation a further embodiment can be a solution of a zwitterionic organic substance for example an amino acid for example glycine which can have a similar salting out effect as so 4 u2212 u2212 hpo 4 u2212 u2212 further non volatile organic substances can be polyhydric alcohols like glycerine or monosaccharides like glucose and also disaccharides like sucrose as well as inositols which also have a strong influence on the water structure of a surface and which afford a coating after evaporation of the solvent the implants coated in accordance with the invention have long term storage stability and can be used after washing off the coating of salts or organic coating agent for loading with the peptides acting as mediators the invention is thus also directed to a process for loading the surface of an implant with peptides in which peptides are applied to the surface of the implant which are immobilised on the surface of the implant as a result of physisorptive or chemisorptive interactions between the peptides and the ultrahydrophilic surface.
