Patent ID: 7101564

Claim:
A plastically deformable implant for insertion into bodily orifices of a human or animal body, the implant formed by a gel which is not sealed and is directly introduced into a natural or artificially created bodily opening, with the gel having a polyaphron structure and comprising a fluorocarbon, water, and a minimum of one fluorinated surface-active agent of the general formula R F F pol , wherein: R F stands for linear or branched perfluoroalkyl groups with more than 5 carbon atoms; R pol stands for a polar hydrocarbon residue with a minimum of one functional group which is selected from the group consisting of CO-NH(R), CO-N(R) 2 , COO-, COOR, SO 3 -, SO 2 N(R) 2 , and CH 2 -O-R, PO 2 H, PO 3 H (R=alkyl); and the surface-active agent has a molecular weight of >400 g/mol, a surface tension in aqueous solution of <30 mN/m, an interfacial tension in aqueous solution with respect to the non-polar component of <25 mN/m, and a concentration of <0.3%.
