Abstract:
To provide a biocompatible implant system and method.
The invention relates to an implantable combination comprising a barrier (12), and a macromolecular bio-compatible material (14). The barrier (12) is porous to allow moieties of the macromolecular bio-compatible material (14), when implanted, to be exposed through the barrier (12), whereby the surface of the barrier (12) is experienced by the body as an essentially non-foreign object by a body. It also relates to an implant made of a barrier material and a bio-compatible material, the implant being suitable as e.g. a breast implant.
