Patent ID: 6921264

Claim:
An implant for implantation in human or animal bone tissue or in bone tissue supplemented with bone substitute material, wherein at least a part of the implant surface is adapted to comes into contact with the bone tissue, wherein said part of the implant surface comprises surface regions ( 4 ) of a first type and surface regions ( 8 ) of a second type being different from the surface regions ( 4 ) of the first type, wherein the surface regions ( 8 ) of the second type comprise a material which is liquefiable by mechanical oscillation and with the aid of which on implantation by mechanical oscillation the implant is stabilized at least primarily in the bone tissue, wherein the surface regions ( 8 ) of the first type are equipped for a further clinical function being different from the function of primary stabilization and wherein the surface regions ( 4 , 8 ) of the first type and of the second type are dimensioned and arranged in a manner such that the surface regions of the first type remain at least partly free from liquefied material on implantation by mechanical oscillation.
