An insertion element configured for cooperation with an insertion device for the insertion of a medical implant into a human or animal body. The insertion element has a sleeve with a longitudinal axis. A frame has transverse elements, at least in regions, that are arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis. The transverse elements follow one another along the longitudinal axis and are integrated into the sleeve. The transverse elements are connected along the longitudinal axis to a longitudinal element. The frame (110) has a higher hardness than the sleeve.
