Abstract

See full text

A holder of a biocompatible material for implantation in bone tissue for controlled receipt and positional fixation of equipment for electrical transfer of information. A cylindrical mounting part is for lying outside of the bone tissue and includes a mounting end and a smooth outer surface. A conical insertion part is for insertion into the bone tissue. The insertion part is narrower than the mounting part and includes an insertion end opposite the mounting end and tapers toward the insertion end at an angle of 0.degree. to 10.degree.. A conical intermediate part is between the mounting part and the insertion part. A plurality of retention elements are at least on the insertion part for providing good initial anchoring and stability to the holder and for permitting the holder to be mounted in a preprepared hole in the bone tissue without screwing the holder. A channel extends through the holder for receiving the equipment and connections to the equipment and including an exit opening in the insertion part.
