ABSTRACT:
An implant for implanting into human tissue includes a hermetically sealed, metallic housing for enclosing electronic means inside the housing for a high-frequency, telemetric information transfer between a programming device and the implant. The implant additionally includes a head for connecting a stimulation line. The housing comprises a metallic wall including groove-shaped recesses arranged at least on an inside of the metallic wall and which reduce a thickness of the metallic wall so that in a region of the recesses on the housing wall a material thickness does not fall below that which is necessary under operating conditions to ensure that the housing is impermeable to fluids.
