Abstract:
1. A medical device for use in a mammal comprising: (a) a solidifiable bioresorbable bulk material comprising an injectable material in the form of a gel or liquid that forms a solidified bioresorbable bulk material upon crosslinking; (b) particles dispersed in said bioresorbable bulk material, said particles causing said solidified bioresorbable bulk material to resorb upon contact with a body fluid at a controllable resorption rate, wherein said particles are selected from (i) particles that swell upon contact with a body fluid, (ii) particles comprising a material that responds to a magnetic field by moving or vibrating within said solidified bioresorbable bulk material, and (iii) polymeric particles that have a resorption rate that is faster than a resorption rate of said solidified bioresorbable bulk material.
