Abstract: An implantable curved shaping part for externally shaping an implantable electrode line or a catheter, wherein the shaping part has a continuous first lumen to allow a portion of the electrode line or of the catheter to pass through, wherein the shaping part is formed as an injection molded part or has at least one injection molded portion, and an elongated, rigid yet flexible bend impression element is fixed within the wall or to the inner wall.

Abstract: A surgical implant (100) comprises a mesh-like, flexible basic structure (104) having a center area and an outer periphery (120), wherein the outer periphery (120) has a polygonal shape with N corners (122), N being at least 3. The implant (100) may comprise at least two pockets (124), each pocket (124) extending from a peripheral line which connects two corners (122) of the outer periphery (120) of the basic structure (104) towards the center area of the basic structure (104). The center area of the basic structure (104) can be marked by a center marking (130), wherein directional indicators (132) point from the center marking (130) to at least two corners (122) of the outer periphery (120) of the basic structure (104).

Abstract: A surgical implant (1) adapted for repairing a tissue or muscle wall defect comprises an a real, flexible basic structure which defines a primary region (4) and at least one arm (6) starting from the primary region (4) and having a free end and an end area extending up to the free end. The arm (6) is folded back and fixed (e.g. welded, sutured or glued), in its end area, to the primary region (4) of the basic structure. Preferably, the basic structure (4, 6) is made from one piece and comprises a mesh.
