Abstract: An application apparatus (1) for at least one implant comprises a cannula (3) via which the implant is supplied to a target implantation location. An applicator housing body (32) comprises a depot volume for storing the implant. A plunger (11) of a plunger device (10) can be displaced between an initial position and an implantation position. The plunger device (10) comprises a plunger actuation body (12) to which the plunger (11) is rigidly connected. The applicator housing body (32) is intended here for guiding a displacement movement of the plunger device (10). An initial-position locking device is intended to releasably lock the applicator housing body (32) with the plunger device (10) in the initial position thereof. The initial-position locking device can be switched between a locking position and a functional position in which the plunger device (10) can be displaced in order to displace the plunger (11) relative to the applicator housing body (32).

Abstract: The invention concerns an extruded depot form for sustained active substance release, comprising at least one active substance and at least one first compound from the class of biodegradable organic polymers based on lactic acid and/or glycolic acid.
