Abstract
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.
