Abstract
The invention relates to an implantable device to be fixed to a bone and comprising an electrically conductive base body provided with at least two through holes and at least one pair of shaft-shaped contact means, wherein each contact means passes through a through hole of the base body and penetrates a section of the bone in an implanted state, wherein the surface of each contact means comprises a first and a second electrically conductive surface section as well as an electrically insulating surface section separating the electrically conductive surface sections from each other, wherein the first electrically conductive surface section electrically contacts the base body while the second electrically conductive surface section is electrically insulated with respect to the base body, wherein each contact means contains a coil arrangement in its interior by means of which the electrically conductive surface sections of each contact means are electrically coupled, and wherein the coil arrangements of a pair are wound in opposite directions.
