Abstract:
A method for tissue augmentation in a mammal is provided comprising injecting a polymer at a tissue site in need of augmentation and having a tissue temperature, the polymer comprising repeating peptide monomeric units selected from the group consisting of nonapeptide, pentapeptide and tetrapeptide monomeric units, wherein the monomeric units form a series of beta-turns separated by dynamic bridging segments suspended between the beta-turns, wherein the polymer has an inverse temperature transition Tt less than the tissue temperature, and wherein the polymer is injected as a water solution at coacervate concentration in the substantial absence of additional water.
