Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2010006786A1] The invention relates to an implant having a braided mesh structure (20), comprising wire elements (11) proximate to cells (14), wherein at least two wire elements (11) are disposed in an intersecting manner forming an intersection area (10). The implant according to the invention is characterized in that the braided mesh structure (20) comprises an elastically deformable support means (12) locally limited to the intersection area (10), said support means connecting the wire elements (11) in the intersection area (10) such that an elastic reset force acting on the braided mesh structure (20) can be adjusted by way of a relative movement of the wire elements (11) forming the intersection area (10). The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such an implant, wherein at least two wire elements (11) braided into a mesh structure (20) are disposed in intersecting fashion for forming an intersection area (10) and are provided with a supporting means (12) that is locally limited to the intersection area (10).
