Abstract
A biomedical device 2, such as an implant or tissue engineering scaffold, having a surface with a given topography, said surface is coated with a coating 1 comprising one or more layers 1a, 1b, 1c that is adapted to change with time. The outermost surface 1a of said coating has a different topography 3 than the underlying biomedical device. The coating 1 may comprise a bioerodable material that is adapted to degrade, melt and/or resorb upon contract with a biological environment.
