Abstract
An implant includes a body that defines an axis and has an interior. A counter element is disposed on the body to releasably fix a manipulating tool thereto. The counter element has at least two undercuts spaced apart relative to the axis of the body and each has a respective holding surface oriented towards the interior of the body. A bearing surface is on the counter element to rotationally fix the implant relative to the manipulating tool. The bearing surface is oriented non-coaxially with the axis of the body.
Claims9
An implant, comprising:
- a body defining an axis and having an interior, said body defining a central longitudinal axis of the implant, said central longitudinal axis being orthogonal to said axis;
- a counter element disposed on said body for releasably fixing a manipulating tool thereto, said counter element having at least two undercuts spaced apart relative to said axis of said body and each having a respective holding surface oriented towards the interior of the body;
- and
- a bearing surface on said counter element for rotationally fixing the implant relative to the manipulating tool, said bearing surface being oriented non-coaxially with said axis of said body.
