Abstract
An RFID tag is provided that is suitable for mounting on surgical instruments, and by means of which stable anchoring on the instrument, encapsulation of the RFID elements from the surroundings, good cleanability and improved detectability can be achieved. The RFID tag has a metal holder, a housing that is made of an electrically non-conductive or slightly conductive material, an accommodating chamber and an RFID element with an antenna. The RFID element is arranged in the accommodating chamber of the housing. The housing has a first end which is held on the metal holder. The accommodating chamber in the housing is formed to be spatially spaced apart from the first end of the housing. The RFID element is positioned in the accommodating chamber in such a way that the antenna of the RFID element is spatially arranged substantially outside of the metal holder.
