FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine and surgery. Implant is designed for increasing the volume of an atrophied bladder. It is made in the form of a hemisphere of biocompatible material: polylactic acid and silicone coated with pyrolytic turbostratic carbon or with amorphous diamond-like carbon. Coating of an implant provides growth of autologous cells of a fibrous capsule on it without contamination of cultivated cells.
EFFECT: implant makes it possible to increase volume of a bladder due to cross-linking biologically compatible dome-shaped device with a bladder using welded resolve or non-resolve materials.
