摘要

The invention relates to a system and a method for marking any non-living or living objects, in particular medical instruments, implants, structural parts, e.g. tools, machines, items of clothing, jewelry, and many others, and to a marking element and the use of same for marking any objects, in particular for object control and object management. For this purpose, a marking system is proposed that comprises a holding device for the object (82) that is to be marked, a marking element (70) with a round, oval or polygonal cross-sectional shape, and a drill device with which a receiving bore for the marking element is formed in the object that is to be marked, wherein the receiving bore has a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the marking element and has a cross-sectional surface area that is smaller than the cross-sectional surface area of the marking element, and a pressing device for pressing the marking element into the bore.
