Abstract

A medical implant includes a first component having a surface and a plurality of electrical contacts and a second component having a surface and a plurality of electrical contacts. Each contact of the first component contacts an assigned contact of the second component in an electrically conducting manner. A seal is disposed between the two surfaces for sealing the contacts. The seal and the two surfaces are formed of a thermoplastic material. The seal is fused to the two surfaces for sealing the contacts and the seal is meltable so as to separate the two components from one another. A method for producing a medical implant is also provided.
