Abstract
An insertion element (100), which is designed to cooperate with an insertion device (200) for inserting a medical implant (222) into a human or animal body. The insertion element (100) comprises a sleeve (10) with a distal end (40) and a proximal end (30) opposite the distal end (40), said sleeve also having at least one expandable region (10a), which can be transferred from a first state of small clear cross section at least at the proximal end (30) into a second state of larger clear cross section at least at the proximal end (30), wherein the expandable region (10a) of the sleeve (10) is flatter in the first state than in the second state.
