Subcutaneous, intra-muscular coupling for a rigid transcutaneous implant
First Claim
1. Subcutaneous, intramuscular bearing for a rigid transcutaneous implant that can be anchored intracorporeally in a bone stump and that has an extracorporeal coupling device for a standard exoprosthetic component that includes a flexible material, and that has a socket that distally surrounds the implant in a firm manner, the bearing comprising:
- an enveloping sheath arranged intracorporeally in the form of a flexible pleated bellows, which is proximally connected to the socket via a collar that is formed thereon in a sealing manner, in such a way that a hollow space with a minimum breadth s remains free between an inner walling of the pleated bellows and an outer walling of the socket;
a flexible grid network is arranged distally at the pleated bellows; and
an additional grid network adjoins the flexible grid network on the distal side, wherein the additional grid network has a higher modulus of elasticity in comparison to that of the flexible grid network.
