ABSTRACT:
An implantable device for at least temporary electrical contact with body tissue includes a stimulation electrode, a lead having a proximal end connected to a medical device and a distal end securely attached to the stimulation electrode and blocking means for holding the stimulation electrode in its position of contacting the body tissue, counter to a pulling force exerted by the lead. The blocking means is essentially rigid and is at least partially composed of a material that can be resorbed into body fluid. The blocking means includes a holder with a hole which is slipped or fitted onto a surgical thread thereby connecting the blocking means to the surgical thread.
