Claims11
An implantable augmentation device comprising an annular cone surrounding a channel which extends axially along a longitudinal axis of the augmentation device from a proximal cone end to a distal cone end,
- wherein an outer diameter of the cone decreases from the proximal cone end in the direction of the distal cone end,
- wherein the cone comprises a sliding element extending radially around the proximal cone end, a lateral surface, and two axially extending webs on the lateral surface diametrically opposed to each other,
- wherein at least two arched metal plates following an outer contour of the cone are arranged on the lateral surface of the cone,
- wherein the metal plates are spaced apart from one another by axially extending gaps between the metal plates,
- wherein the cone is reversibly detachable from the metal plates by displacing the cone in the direction of the proximal cone end,
- wherein the sliding element interacts with the metal plates at a proximal metal plate end facing the proximal cone end such that a force acting on the cone from the direction of the proximal cone end can be transmitted to the metal plates via the sliding element.
