Abstract

The invention relates to a removable anchoring element ( 3 ) for an implantable microcontact foil ( 2 ) used as a neuroimplant, especially for retina implants. The anchoring head rises above the surface of the implant, for fixing purposes, and the fixing device can be removed during the re-explantation or anchoring process by pulling the implant foil ( 2 ) beneath the anchoring head.
