Abstract
Augmentation material having a wire and, in axial alignment along the wire, a plurality of groups of axially adjacent connecting elements that extend radially from the wire, wherein the connecting elements are designed such that, when a first group from the plurality of groups is pressed together with a further group from the plurality of groups, the connecting element of the two groups can be connected to one another in a positive-locking and/or friction-locking manner.

An implantable augmentation material comprising
- a wire and, in axial alignment along a longitudinal axis of the wire, a plurality of groups of axially adjacent connecting elements that extend radially from the wire, wherein the wire and the connecting elements are formed in one piece, wherein the connecting elements are formed as disks that extend radially from the wire, wherein the connecting elements are designed such that, when a first group from the plurality of groups is, by deforming the wire, pressed together with a further, non-axially adjacent group from the plurality of groups, the connecting elements of the two groups can be connected to one another in a positive-locking and/or friction-locking manner.
