A system for connecting a medical implant to an insertion aid, comprising: a medical implant made of a helically wound wire, wherein the wire is formed into a first loop at the proximal end of the medical implant; a cylindrical, hollow insertion aid with a second loop at the distal end of the insertion aid; and a locking wire, which extends through the hollow insertion aid and is relatively movable to the insertion aid; wherein in a first operating state, in which the medical implant is connected to the insertion aid, the second loop of the insertion aid extends through the first loop of the medical implant and the locking wire extends through the second loop of the insertion aid, so that the first loop of the medical implant is arranged between the second loop of the insertion aid and the locking wire; and wherein in a second operating state the locking wire is retracted into the hollow insertion aid and out of the second loop, so that the first loop of the medical implant is no longer connected to the second loop of the insertion aid. A medical implant for such a system.
