The invention relates to an implant for local active ingredient release having an upper wall (1), which is closed and disk-shaped and consists of a material which is pierceable with an injection cannula using a force of less than 100 N, is self-sealing and is elastically deformable, a lower wall (2) which is arranged opposite the upper wall (1), is disk-shaped, is elastically deformable and has at least one liquid-permeable feed-through (3) through the lower wall (2), a hollow space (4) which is arranged between the upper wall (1) and the lower wall (2), and an anti-piercing means (6), which is disk-shaped, between the upper wall (1) and the lower wall (2), wherein the anti-piercing means (6) consists of a material which is not pierceable with an injection cannula (100) using a force of less than 100 N. The invention also relates a method for filling such an implant with a liquid.
An implant for local active ingredient release, the implant having an upper wall, wherein the upper wall is closed and disk-shaped and consists of a material which is pierceable with a medical injection cannula using a force of less than 100 N, is self-sealing and is elastically deformable, a lower wall, wherein the lower wall is arranged opposite the upper wall, is disk-shaped, is elastically deformable and the lower wall has at least one feed-through through the lower wall, wherein the at least one feed-through is liquid-permeable, a hollow space which is arranged between the upper wall and the lower wall, an impenetrable anti-piercing means, wherein the anti-piercing means is arranged between the upper wall and the lower wall and is disk-shaped, wherein the anti-piercing means consists of a material which is not pierceable with a medical injection cannula using a force of less than 100 N, wherein the anti-piercing means is at least as large as 50% of an interior surface of the lower wall which delimits the hollow space;
