Abstract
A medical product for use during the treatment of a bone defect, having a plurality of individual elements that are connected to one another such that individual elements adjacent to one another engage in one another/are chained to one another. The individual elements of the chain net are subdivided into main elements and connection elements that are designed differently from the main elements. The main elements and the connection elements form, when chained to one another, a grid structure that is flat in the x-y plane.

A medical product for use in treating a bone defect, the medical product comprising a plurality of individual link elements which are connected to each other in such a way that adjacent individual link elements interlock/are linked to each other, the individual link elements being subdivided into main link elements and connection link elements, the connection link elements having a different geometric form than the main link elements, the main link elements and the connection link elements forming a planar grid structure that extends in an x-direction, a y-direction and a z-direction, the planar grid structure being planar in an x-y plane in an interlinked state, the x-y plane extending in the x-direction and the y-direction, wherein the main link elements have a first thickness in the z-direction, and the connection link elements have a second thickness in the z-direction that is less than the first thickness.
