Cermet bearing, in particular for an implantable medical device

1. A mechanical bearing containing a first component and a further component, wherein the mechanical bearing is designed such that the first component and the further component are able to execute a bearing movement relative to each other, wherein the first component or the further component contains a cermet or both contain a cermet, wherein the cermet contains a metal in a proportion of at least 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the cermet, wherein the metal is biocompatible.

2. The mechanical bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the cermet contains a metal in a metal fraction, wherein the metal fraction is a monotonically increasing function from a position on a straight line which runs through the cermet.

3. The mechanical bearing according to claim 2 , wherein the metal fraction has a minimum in a range from 0 to 50% by weight based on the weight of a spatial section of the cermet.

4. The mechanical bearing according to claim 2 , wherein the metal fraction has a maximum in a range from 50 to 95% by weight based on the weight of a spatial section of the cermet.

5. An implantable medical device containing the mechanical bearing according to claim 1 .

6. A method containing as method steps:

a) providing the implantable medical device according to claim 5 , and

b) introducing the implantable medical device or the apparatus into an eukaryotic organism.

7. A method containing as method steps:

a) providing a housing; and

b) introducing a movable component into the housing;

wherein the housing is made of a biocompatible material, wherein the movable component is mounted movably in the housing by means of the mechanical bearing according to claim 1 .
