An augmentation device comprising
- an annular cone surrounding a channel which extends from a proximal cone end to a distal cone end of the cone through said cone,
- wherein
- the cone consists by at least 50 percent by volume, based on the total volume of the cone, of a biocompatible polymer, and is subdivided, by at least three radially circumferential grooves in a cone lateral surface opposite the channel, into annular cone segments,
- wherein the grooves have a groove depth of at least 1 mm and a groove width of at least 1 mm, and form sawing guides in order to adapt a cone size of the cone by separating one or more cone segments.
