Particles made of a viscoelastic medium, are injectable gel particles, and have a size, when subjected to a physiological salt solution, in the range of from 1 to 5 mm. The particles are useful in a soft tissue augmentation implant. The implant includes particles of a viscoelastic medium, wherein a major volume of the particles are injectable gel particles The implant is useful in a method of soft tissue augmentation in a mammal, including man, comprising subepidermal administration at a site in said mammal where soft tissue augmentation is desirable, of an implant.

Method of soft tissue augmentation

A viscoelastic medium is useful for the manufacture of a medicament, such as a medical device, for treatment of increased intraocular pressure in the eye of a human or animal. The medicament is administerable into at least one sclerally penetrating fistula of the eye such that the fistula is filled with the medicament. The medium is also useful in a method of treating increased intraocular pressure in the eye of a human or an animal in need thereof, comprising the step of injecting the viscoelastic medium into at least one sclerally penetrating fistula in the eye such that the fistula is filled with the medium.

Use of a viscoelastic composition for treating increased intraocular pressure

The invention relates to an implantable combination comprising a barrier (), and a macromolecular bio-compatible material (). The barrier () is porous to allow moieties of the macromolecular bio-compatible material (), when implanted, to be exposed through the barrier, whereby the surface of the barrier is experienced by the body as an essentially non-foreign object. It also relates to an implant made from a barrier material and a bio-compatible material, the implant being suitable as e.g. a breast implant.

Biocompatible implant system and method

A medical pump, comprising a reservoir having a fluid enclosing portion and a tubular element, the inside of which is arrangeable in fluid communication with the fluid enclosing portion for allowing fluid to pass into the tubular element. The fluid enclosing portion contains a volume of fluid sealed from communication with air and the fluid enclosing portion is adapted to reduce in volume essentially to the same extent as any volume of fluid transferred into the inside of the tubular element. The invention also relates to a method of delivering a medical fluid.

Example embodiments of the present invention relate to an arrangement and a method for interacting with an internal body organ. The arrangement may include a sheath in which at least two elongate structural elements are inserted. The structural elements may each have a proximal end and a distal end. The sheath may have a proximal end and a distal end, said distal end being open. When the structural elements are displaced relative to the sheath, they may extend through the open distal end of the sheath and at least partly in the transverse direction away from the sheath for distending and/or expanding interaction between the distal end of each structural element and a body organ.
