SUBCUTANEOUS INTRAMUSCULAR MOUNTING FOR A RIGID TRANSCUTANEOUS IMPLANT

摘要

A subcutaneous, intramuscular mounting for a rigid transcutaneous implant is disclosed, which may be fixed intracorporally in a bone stump, comprising a spacer ( 3 ) between the implant and an extracorporal coupling device ( 4 ) which may be coupled thereto, whereby the spacer ( 3 ) is embodied as a rigid bush ( 5 ) with a coupling element ( 6 ), sealed in the intracorporal direction, to which the extracorporal coupling device may be coupled. According to the invention, the bush ( 5 ) widens out significantly from the end ( 12 ) thereof facing the extracorporal direction to the end ( 13 ) thereof facing the intracorporal direction and comprises a smooth surface such that arthrogenic material can not grow into the surface thereof and as a result of a lack of frictional effects also causes hardly any inflammation.
