Abstract

The present invention relates to a medical implant which is vacuum-packed within an air tight cover material. Further, the present invention relates to a medical device for making a medical implant covered by an air tight cover material, wherein the medical device comprises at least an underpressure generating device and a sealing device, wherein the sealing device is arranged for air tight sealing of the cover material while the medical implant is located within the cover material, wherein the underpressure generating device is coupled or can be coupled with a space which is surrounded by the cover material, and wherein the underpressure generating device and the sealing device are controllable such that after generating a certain underpressure within the space surrounded by the cover material through the underpressure generating device the sealing device is activatable to seal the cover material in an air tight manner to form an air tight protection cover around the medical implant located therein. Further, the present invention relates to a method for making a medical implant covered by an air tight cover material, comprising the steps a) providing the medical implant, b) providing sterile cover material in the form of at least one or at least two pieces, c) placing the medical implant within a space surrounded by the at least one or at least two pieces of the cover material, d) creating an underpressure within the space surrounded by the at least one or at least two pieces of the cover material by evacuating air from this space, e) air tight sealing of the cover material.
