Abstract

A multi-layered implant has at least two layers, of which at least two have a different porosity. A woven or knitted mesh, e.g., can be provided completely or partly with a porous fleece layer on one side or on both sides. The porosity can vary within a fleece layer. A layer of the multi-layered implant can also consist of a film. Resorbable and non-resorbable substances are considered as materials.
