Abstract
The present invention relates to an implant (10), and particularly to an intraluminal endoprosthesis, comprising a body and at least one abluminal layer (3) disposed on the body, the abluminal layer preferably containing at least one pharmaceutically active substance. In order to protect the abluminal layer (3) from delamination or shearing, the abluminal layer (3) is additionally fastened to the implant body at least in a transition region (7) by way of at least one anchoring layer (5) disposed on the abluminal layer (3). In addition, methods for producing such an implant are described.
