Abstract
A subcutaneous, intramuscular support (1) is provided for a rigid transcutaneous implant (2), which can be anchored intracorporeally in a bone stump. The support has an intermediate piece (3) between the part of the implant (2) to be intracorporeally anchored and an extracorporeal coupling device (4) that can be coupled to it. A rigid bushing (5) is firmly connected with the intermediate piece (3), such that an annulus (6) is formed between the wall of the bushing (5) and the intermediate piece (3), the annulus being closed in the intracorporeal direction, and into which annulus the extracorporeal coupling device can be inserted. A tube (7) made of a flexible material is applied to the outer wall of the bushing (5), and a metallic wool (8) is applied to the flexible tube (7).
