ABSTRACT:
A subcutaneous, intramuscular bearing (1) for a rigid transcutaneous implant (2) is provided, for anchoring intracorporally in a bone stump and having an intermediate piece (3) between the implant (2) and an extracorporal coupling for coupling on the implant. A rigid bushing (5) is tightly connected to the intermediate piece (3), such that between the wall of the bushing (5) and the intermediate piece (3) an annular space (6) is formed, which is closed in the intracorporal direction, for receiving and setting the extracorporal coupling. The outer wall of the bushing (5) has an open-meshed, three-dimensional lattice structure (8) and a lattice-free distal region having a width B. A spring ring (9) is set in the annular space (6) from the distal end, moved with a telescoping motion, and locked under exertion of its spring effect.
