Abstract

A medical implant that includes a scaffold having at least one receptacle for an X-ray marker. The scaffold includes a first metal. At least one (preferably monolithic) X-ray marker is disposed in the receptacle. The X-ray marker includes a second metal. An electrically insulating coating is upon the X-ray marker to prevent corrosion-promoting contact between the X-ray marker and the scaffold.
