A device for implanting in osseous tissue, for example in the skull of a patient, for electric transmission of signals to the inner ear, includes a rotationally symmetric body (1) of titanium or other tissue compatible material with an insertion end (2) for insertion into a bore prepared in osseous tissue beforehand and an application end (3) intended to remain external to the patient. A central through bore (4) connects both ends (2,3) of the body. An external screw thread (7) is provided adjacent the insertion end. An insulating element (9) is arranged in the bore and carries one or more terminal elements or contacts (12) connected with insulating electrical conductors (8). The conductors (8) extend from the contacts (12) through the axial bore at the insertion end or through openings in the peripheral wall surface of the body (1). In implantation of the holding means a bore is prepared in osseous tissue, the holding means is screwed into the bore, the conductors (8) being extended through the central bore and connected to their respective contacts in the insulating element and the insulating element is secured within the central bore through the application end.
