A system () for a controlled stressing of a reconstructed or re-natured ligament of a human or animal body comprises an anchoring element () for implantation in a first bone (), at least one connecting element () and a holding element (), which fixes the at least one connecting element () in a second bone. According to the invention, an elastomer element () is arranged in the anchoring element and/or in the connecting element () and provides a defined elastic action through the cooperation of elastomer element () with the connecting element ().

Implantable system with elastic components

A method for insulating () a conductive bar () includes wrapping an insulating tape () around the conductive bar (), enclosing it in a flexible container (), applying a vacuum, impregnating the insulating tape () with an impregnating resin, curing the impregnating resin, and removing the conductive bar () with the insulation () around it from the flexible container (). In addition, together with the insulating tape (), an impregnating tape () made of the impregnating resin is wrapped around the conductive bar (). In order to impregnate, the impregnating tape () is melted.
