Abstract:
1. A medical implant for implantation in an animal body and/or human body, comprising: a base body which includes at least four segments disposed one after another in an axial direction, each segment having a deflection point, wherein the deflection point of each of two of the at least four segments are diametrically opposed in the axial direction and another two of the at least four segments are bonded together at a contact point, wherein the contact point comprises a passage, a first adjusting mechanism that passes through the passage and acts on the deflection point of each of the two segments that are diametrically opposed to adjust an extension of the base body in a circumferential direction, characterized in that an axial distance between the deflection point of each of the two segments that are diametrically opposed can be shortened using the first adjusting mechanism; and at least a second adjusting mechanism, wherein the first and second adjusting mechanisms are distributed in the circumferential direction around a circumference of the base body.
