Claims27
An arrangement for implanting in a human or animal body, comprising:
- a carrier device which is made from a synthetic mesh or fabric material;
- a holder fixed to the carrier device, the holder having a receiving means;
- and
- an electronic element having a base, wherein the base is associated with the receiving means and is received by the receiving means of the holder such that the electronic element is replaceably and releasably fixed to the carrier device in the holder, wherein the electronic element has a thorn, wherein the electronic element and the thorn are formed in an integrated manner, and wherein the thorn is arranged on a first side of the carrier device and the electronic element is arranged on a second side of the carrier device opposing the first side, when the electronic element is fixed to the carrier device;
- wherein, when the arrangement is adapted to be implanted into the human or animal body, the carrier device is adapted to be attached to an organ or organ part, and the electronic element is replaceably fixed to the carrier device by the holder such that the electronic element is adapted to be held to the organ or organ part.
