The invention relates to a brake pad (1) comprising a retaining spring device for detachably fastening a brake pad (1) to a piston (5) of a partial pad disc brake. The retaining spring device comprises at least one spring element (14, 14') which, with at least one spring section (16), engages with spring pretension inside an outer circumferential groove (11) of the piston (5). At least one retaining element (13) is used to fasten the spring element (14, 14') to the side of the brake pad (1) facing the piston (5). By using spring elements (14, 14') and retaining elements (13), the retaining spring device makes it possible to mount different spring force components and, at the same time, can be used in a universal manner with brake pads having different shapes.
