Abstract
A process for the production of an implant and to an implant for surgical use in humans or vertebrates, in particular for the replacement, for the partial replacement or for the strengthening of a damaged intervertebral disk or for the replacement, for the partial replacement or for the strengthening of an anatomical joint. The implant includes at least one wire or at least one fiber. The wire or the fiber is present at least partially as a knitted fabric.
