Welcome to The Implant-Register – the global implant platform
Implants help humans in many ways and are welcome to improve life conditions for people desiring reconstructions or corrections of their human tissue as well as transmitting purposes. However, an implant is more than just any replacement part. It becomes part of an individual person. That is why it requires our special attention. There are estimated more than 10.000 different implants known, to be incorporated in human bodies - constantly increasing.

Thalamic deep brain stimulation in traumatic brain injury
a phase 1, randomized feasibility study Converging evidence indicates that impairments in executive function and information-processing speed limit quality of life and social reentry after moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI). These deficits reflect dysfunction of frontostriatal networks for which the central lateral (CL) nucleus of the thalamus is a critical node. The primary objective of…
Spinal cord implant for locomotor deficits due to Parkinson’s disease
People with late-stage Parkinson’s disease (PD) often suffer from debilitating locomotor deficits that are resistant to currently available therapies. To alleviate these deficits, we developed a neuroprosthesis operating in closed loop that targets the dorsal root entry zones innervating lumbosacral segments to reproduce the natural spatiotemporal activation of the lumbosacral spinal cord during walking. We…
Rehabilitation after leg amputation with transcutaneous osseointegrated prostheses
Traditional prostheses after limb amputations allow only a part of the affected persons to achieve the desired and desired autonomous mobility. In analogy to dental implants, systems have been developed that allow the coupling of an exoprosthesis to a force carrier integrated in the bone and transmitted through the skin. Almost all of the problems…
