Abstract

An implantable electrical contact arrangement comprising at least one electrode element entirely integrated into a carrier substrate of a biocompatible, electrically insulating material, and at least one freely accessible electrode surface enclosed by the biocompatible, electrically insulating carrier substrate. Within at least one space of the carrier substrate, which does not contain an electrode element, the carrier substrate surrounds at least one space containing at least one material with a modulus of elasticity differing from a modulus of elasticity of the material of the carrier substrate.
