Abstract

Abstract An injectable and flowable material for tissue repair, reconstruction and bulking is provided, comprising microspheres having an average diameter in the range of about 10 to 100 microns. The close packing of the microspheres at the site of application and the biodegradation of the materials allow for residency of the particles at the target site to permit tissue repair and in-growth into the implant. Active components, such as drugs or growth factors may be incorporated into the material to elicit a specific tissue response or to provide local delivery of a therapeutic agent.
