ABSTRACT:
The implant has an annularly bent base, whereby the imagined surface enclosed by the base is bent. Preferably the surface enclosed by the base is a symmetrical. It is particularly advantageous if the base is enclosed by a solid material and this is enclosed by a relatively soft material. This offers the possibility of designing fastening clips in the relatively solid material. Such implants are especially suited as heart valve rings.
