A medical device for releasing in a hollow organ having a hollow cylindrical body that can be transferred in a compressed state having a reduced diameter and in an expanded state having an enlarged diameter. The body having a stop means at the proximal and/or distal axial end thereof having at least one retaining element connected to the body by a connecting segment. The retaining element and the body are decoupled by the connecting segment such that the retaining element has a smaller curvature in the compressed state than the body. The connecting segment elastically connects the retaining element and the body, wherein the contour of the retaining element in the compressed state of the body protrudes past the outer circumference of the body such that the retaining element is displaceable radially inward relative to the body into a stop position through the inner wall of an insertion system.
