Patent ID: 6984394

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 selected from the group consisting of perfluorophenanthrene, C 6 F 13 C 8 H 17 and (C 6 F 13 C 2 H 4 ) 3 , further comprising 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 , CH 2 —O—R, PO 2 H, and 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 fluorocarbon of <25 mN/m, and a concentration of <0.3%.
