Claims
- 1. An implant for implantation into an animal or human body, comprising: an axial interior section for fixation inside the body, said interior section comprising an anchoring ring, and an axial exterior section extending outwards from the body and serving for mounting of a device which can be detachably connected to the body via the implant, wherein the interior section further comprises a connecting section extending between the anchoring ring and the exterior section, said connecting section including at least one rod providing at least one throughgoing transverse opening in the connecting section.
- 2. An implant according to claim 1, wherein the connecting section includes a number of rods extending between the anchoring ring and the exterior section, said number of rods are together forming an open grid.
- 3. An implant according to claim 2, wherein the end part of at least one of the rods facing in the opposite direction of the exterior section of the connecting section is tapered and that in each rod is formed a throughgoing hole designed for accommodating at least a part of the anchoring ring.
- 4. An implant for implantation into an animal or human body, comprising: an axial interior section for fixation inside the body, said interior section comprising an anchoring ring, and an axial exterior section extending outwards from the body and serving for mounting of a device which can be detachably connected to the body via the implant, wherein the interior section further comprises a connecting section extending between the anchoring ring and the exterior section, said connecting section including at least one rod providing at least one throughgoing transverse opening in the connecting section, wherein the connecting section includes at least one rod extending in waveform between the anchoring ring and the exterior section.
- 5. An implant according to claim 4, wherein the shape of the at least one rod is a U, a V or an S.
- 6. An implant according to claim 1, wherein the connecting section includes at least one rod that extends along a helix between the anchoring ring and the exterior section.
- 7. An implant according to claim 1, wherein the implant comprises a number of elongated anchoring means affixed to the anchoring ring with mutual angular distance and extending from the anchoring ring to a free end, and that the anchoring means comprises a biocompatible, flexible material.
- 8. An implant according to claim 7, wherein the part of each anchoring means closest to the anchoring ring includes at least one thread affixed to the anchoring ring and extending in the longitudinal direction of the anchoring means, and that the at least one thread comprises a biocompatible material.
- 9. An implant according to claim 8, wherein at least one thread of each anchoring means is impregnated with an antimicrobial preparation.
- 10. An implant according to claim 9, wherein the antimicrobial preparation is AgNO.sub.3 or an antibiotic composition.
- 11. An implant for implantation into an animal or human body, comprising: an axial interior section for fixation inside the body, said interior section comprising an anchoring ring, and an axial exterior section extending outwards from the body and serving for mounting of a device which can be detachably connected to the body via the implant, wherein the interior section further comprises a connecting section extending between the anchoring ring and the exterior section, said connecting section including at least one rod providing at least one throughgoing transverse opening in the connecting section, wherein the implant further comprises an extension ring which has a connecting portion for detachably connecting the extension ring to the exterior section and a free end part facing opposite the connecting portion for detachably mounting a device for connecting to the body.
- 12. The implant according to claim 11, wherein the connecting portion of the extension ring includes a number of catches which in mounted condition of the connecting portion detachably lock under a flange on the exterior section.
- 13. An implant according to claim 11, wherein in the edge region of the connecting portion facing the exterior section of the implant in mounted state includes a circumferential groove having a bottom which closely abuts against an adjacent edge region of the flange of the exterior section.
- 14. An implant according to claim 13, wherein the implant comprises an O-ring inserted between the bottom of the circumferential groove of the connecting portion and the adjacent edge region of the flange of the exterior section.
- 15. An implant according to claim 1, wherein the connecting section has two diametrically opposite catches on its exterior and the implant comprises a locking ring having at least one radial interior portion which has a diameter equivalent to or slightly greater than the distance between the exterior sides of the catches of the connecting section.
- 16. An implant according to claim 15, wherein the said radial interior portion of the locking ring is designed as a circumferential groove.
- 17. An implant according to claim 1 having a generally tubular form.
