The implant holder comprises a screen ( ) comprising on one side a tissue-compatible fibre material ( ) to which the body cells grow and on the other side a smooth contact surface ( ) for the implant ( ). A holding fixture ( ) retains the implant ( ) to the screen ( ). The implant holder prevents the body tissue from directly growing to the implant, which would make exchange of the implant ( ) more difficult. To exchange the implant the skin ( ) of the patient is cut open and the holding fixture ( ) is opened. The implant holder remains in the body while the implant ( ) is exchanged.

Implant holder

The check valve comprises an inlet duct (,) , an outlet duct (,) and a valve chamber (,) arranged between them. The valve chamber (,) is permanently connected with the inlet duct (,) via openings (,). On a blind duct (,) a valve member (,) is mounted which is made up of a flexible inherently stable hose. The valve member (,) extends into the outlet duct (,) and contacts the inner surface of the outlet duct. At a pressure exceeding the opening pressure of the valve the valve member (,) is lifted off the inner surface of the outlet duct (,).
