ABSTRACT:
A composition for injecting into tissues surrounding the urethra or ureter. It comprises a plurality of physiologically acceptable solid polymer particles dispersed in a physiologically acceptable biodissipatable liquid carrier. The polymer comprises a hydrophilic component. The solid polymer particles are a glycerine insoluble poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) polymer or copolymer or a mineral oil insoluble polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer or copolymer. The plurality of solid polymer particles are capable of hydrating and upon hydration of absorbing at least about 30% water and of swelling to a predetermined volume. The solid particles are substantially insoluble in body fluids and substantially insoluble in and non-swellable by the liquid carrier. The composition is especially suitable in treating patients with urinary incontinence and patients with vesicoureteral reflux via injection into the tissues around the urethra or ureter.
