Abstract

The basket-like container (1) contains a reception volume for bone tissue. After the filling in of the bone tissue the container is implanted. The reception volume is located within a wall (2) which is arranged about an axis (10). This peripheral wall consists of a grid, a fabric or a mesh. Transversely to the axis the wall enables an X-ray optical seeing through of the unfilled reception volume. The surface component, which is permeable by X-rays, amounts to at least 30%.
