The active substance application insert has a main body (11), an active substance chamber (12) formed in the main body, an application side (13, 113) which forms a front face of the active substance chamber, wherein the application side has a plurality of application openings (14, 114), and a securing means (15) with which the main body can be detachably secured in the implant. In a state in which the main body is inserted into the implant, the application side faces outwards relative to the implant, such that the application openings connect the active substance chamber to the environment of the implant. Furthermore, within the scope of the present invention an implant (30) with a recess (31) for receiving an active substance application insert (10, 110) is provided.
