Abstract
A ball-shaped implant made out of a pliable fiber. The fiber is introduced into the body and when it encounters body tissue it folds upon itself to form a ball-shaped implant. A fluid may be placed around the implant either to hold it in place or to add a biologically active agent to the implant. The fiber of the implant may be biodegradable, or hollow and porous to allow for drugs placed inside the fiber to be administered to the body. One end of the fiber may be long enough to extend out of the body for later removal.
