The invention relates to an implant comprising an active-agent-containing coating which covers the implant at least in sections. The coating is composed of at least two subsections; a first subsection contains the at least one active substance, and a second subsection contains an auxiliary agent.

Implant comprising an active-agent-containing coating covering the implant at least in sections

The invention relates to an implantation device (-) comprising at least one medical implant (-) and at least one implantation aid (-) comprising at least one expansion element (-). It is provided that the expansion element (-) can be inserted into at least one cavity (-) of the implant (-), and the at least one cavity (-) can be expanded using the expansion element (-), and, in the end state, the expansion element (-) is disposed at least partially in the at least one cavity (-), wherein the expansion element (-) is designed as a solid body (-).

Implantation device

An implant having a preferably hollow cylindrical main structure comprising a large number of continuous openings and a coating which releases at least one pharmaceutically active substance. To attain a better distribution of the pharmaceutically active substance, at least 20% of the cross-sectional area, preferably at least 50% of the cross-sectional area, of at least a portion of the openings in a predetermined section of the main structure is covered with the coating which releases at least one pharmaceutically active substance. Furthermore, a system composed of a catheter and such an implant, a simple method for manufacturing such an implant or such a system is provided.

Implant and method for manufacturing same

An agent depot for mechanical connection to a surface of an endovascular implantable body, comprising one or more polymers, one or more bioactive agents, the agent depot being mechanically connectable to the implantable body by a force fit or an adhesive.

Medication depot for medical implants

A stent comprising a degradable metal stent main body; a partition layer which is applied to the surface of the stent main body so that at least parts of the surface of the luminal side are not covered; and an agent-containing layer which is applied to the surface of the partition layer at least partially on the abluminal side of the stent main body and comprises one or more agents and possibly one or more polymers.

Degradable metal stent having agent-containing coating

An implant system comprising a functional implant () that fulfills a medical function, particularly a bone implant, which is formed at least in part of a metal material that can be degraded by the body () of the implant wearer, as well as a control device () for controlling the degradation behavior of the functional implant (). The control device () has a counter-electrode () to the functional implant (), and a voltage source () for making available a polarization voltage (&#x394;U) between functional implant () and counter-electrode (), to control the degradation behavior of the functional implant ().

Implant system having a functional implant composed of degradable metal material

An implant comprising a body (), at least one active pharmaceutical substance () and an element () deflectable in relation to the body, serving to release the at least one active pharmaceutical substance () during or after an external excitation of the deflection. Also disclosed is a system of such an implant and an excitation device ().

Implant and system of an implant and an excitation device

A method for producing an agent depot for mechanical connection to a surface of an endovascular implantable body, comprising a) providing one or more polymers; b) providing one or more agents; and c) producing an agent depot from said polymers and said agents, the agent depot being mechanically connectable to the surface of the body using force action or adhesive.
