A method for manufacturing an implant and an implant, in particular an intraluminal endoprosthesis, including a body having a coating on at least a portion of the surface thereof, and the degradation of which can be influenced from the outside in a targeted manner, the method having the following steps:

Implant and method for manufacturing same

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 present invention refers to an implant with a surface layer having a topographic modification. The topographic modification includes a line pattern with ridge and groove widths of 0.9 to 1.1 &#x3bc;m and a ridge height of more than 0.9 &#x3bc;m.

Implant with a surface layer having a topographic modification

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 endoprosthesis, particularly an intraluminal endoprosthesis, having a basic structure that is preferably configured in the shape of a hollow cylinder, preferably configured as a basic lattice. In the expanded state, an inner volume enclosed by the basic structure can be changed by means of the elasticity of the basic structure, where the basic structure can assume a normal state and a state of significant compression, with regard to its compression behavior, for further improvement of the healing progression when using an endoprosthesis according to the invention, where in the state of significant compression, the elasticity of the basic structure is significantly reduced as compared with the elasticity in the normal state. The state of significant compression is characterized by the fact that an inside diameter threshold value of the basic structure is not reached, or that a compression pressure threshold value is exceeded. In this connection, the inside diameter threshold value preferably amounts to about 75% of a nominal inside diameter, or the compression pressure threshold value preferably amounts to about 0.2 bar.
