Patent ID: 6840769

Claim:
Implant for receiving a connecting bridge of a medical device containing a head portion, comprising a longitudinal axis, a distal end, a proximal end and a top portion having a contact surface, whereby a receiving recess for the connecting bridge extends therefrom into implant, wherein the implant can be connected by its outer surface area to the inner surface area of a receiving bore hole in the bone of a human or animal body by force or adaptation, whereby the connecting bridge, which is adapted to the receiving recess, can be anchored through clamping, shrinkage, adhesion or cementing, wherein in the anchored medical device rests in contact with the contact surface of the top portion protruding radially outward in its cross-section beyond the cross-section of the receiving recess on the proximal end of the implant across the entire surface against an allocated contact surface of the implant on its proximal end and the outer contour of the cross-section of the receiving recess at least in one section is not circular, wherein extending from the proximal end of the implant the receiving recess contains a cylindrical section, which is followed by a section that is tapered in its cross-section, and that extending from the head portion of the medical device the connecting bridge also contains a cylindrical section, which is followed by a section that is tapered in its cross-section; and wherein said implant in its anchored state between the connecting bridge and the wall of the receiving recess at least one ventilation duct is formed, which extends from a distal end face of the connecting bridge to the proximal end of the implant; and wherein for the contact surface of said implant at least one ventilation groove is incorporated, which extends from a ventilation duct to the surface area of the implant.
