<p>A transcutaneously implantable element has at least a portion thereof (2,3) which is to be in contact with the cutaneous tissue of a living body, composed of a ceramic material comprising hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, andfortet- racalcium phosphate, and which comprises (a) an electrically conductive member (4) for electrically connecting the interior and exterior of the living body to each other or (b) a through hole (6) for mechanically connecting the interior and exterior of the living body to each other.</p><p>The element may be made by sintering a compact of the ceramic material, or by coating the ceramic material onto a substrate, for example, a cylinder (12) which may contain a filter (11). The element can be semi-permanently and safely used in a living body without causing any undesirable bacterial infection, bleeding, and background noise.</p> |
