Claim 13:
14. An implantable device in a human body consisting of:
a first component or main support component delimiting a plurality of through holes; and
a second component applied on at least one outer surface of the main support component,
the second component comprising a dough applied and hardened or solidified on the at least one outer surface and at least in part within the holes,
the dough including a matrix of at least one first compound and at least one pharmaceutical or medical substance dispersed in the matrix,
the second component being a component that stiffens or increases a resistance of the main component, and/or a component adapted to convey, in use, the at least one pharmaceutical or medical substance from the implantable device to an outside thereof and into an implant site,
wherein the main support component comprises a plurality of reference elements that define an application area of the dough on the at least one outer surface,
wherein the reference elements comprise pegs extending, spaced from each other, from the at least one outer surface, the dough covering the pegs and extending therebetween,
wherein the implantable device comprises no closing component,
wherein the main support component and the second component constitute an assembly implantable in the human body,
wherein the pegs are distributed on the at least one outer surface, so that an area defined by a perimeter or line passing through the outermost periphery of the plurality of reference elements is at least 60% of the at least one outer surface, and
wherein the main support component includes at least two opposing outer surfaces, and wherein the second component is applied on both of the at least two opposing outer surfaces.
