Abstract
A plasticizable implant material for injection into the human body. The implant material is prepared through simultaneous selection of the comonomer ratio of .epsilon.-caprolactone and lactide and production parameters to provide a (co)polymer having an average molecular weight and caprolactone concentration that produces a phase transition temperature from solid to fluid within a temperature range of 37-55.degree. C., preferably within the range of 43-48.degree. C. When the temperature of the implant material is regulated to be within said range it can easily be transported to and placed at its target in the body by using a fluid transport and dosing device like a syringe or a heated press.
