Abstract
The present invention provides a biocompatible composition for tissue augmentation, comprising a pseudoplastic polymer carrier in an amount of 0.05-50% (w/w) of the total composition; and one or more tissue augmenting substances(s). Furthermore, the invention comprises a method for tissue augmentation, comprising: injecting the above composition into a desired site of the human or animal body for augmenting the tissue at and around said site.
Claims21
A biocompatible composition which provides for tissue augmentation, which comprises
- (i) a pseudoplastic polymer carrier 0.05-50% (w/w) of the total composition;
- and
- (ii) a water insoluble, biocompatible and biodegradable tissue augmenting substance comprising a dextranomer.
A method for tissue augmentation, comprising:
- injecting a composition of a pseudoplastic carrier comprising a tissue augmenting material comprising dextranomer and optionally an active ingredient into a desired site on the human or animal body for augmenting the tissue at and around said site.
