The present disclosure provides a 3D tissue reconstruction implant having a hydrophilic implant surface and consisting of a bioabsorbable material wherein the implant surface is considered hydrophilic when evaluated using an ink test that follows ISO 8296: 2003 and adapts to the 3D surface, and wherein the implant surface is not hydrophilic when evaluated using an ink test that follows ISO 8296: 2003 and adapts to the 3D surface. Wherein the ink test comprises incubating the implant in a solution consisting of an ink having a surface tension of 72 mN / m and water for 1 minute, and wherein after the implant is incubated in the solution, the ink colored implant surface is an indication of a hydrophilic implant surface. The disclosure also provides the implant for tissue reconstruction, (soft) tissue support, tissue compatibilization and / or implant repair, and the use of the implant for reconstruction, compatibilization and / or repair of tissue and / or support of (soft) tissue, respectively, where the implant is embedded in a patient. The present disclosure further provides a method of manufacturing a tissue reconstruction implant having a hydrophilic implant surface.

Disclosed herein are tissue augmentation compositions comprising a hydrogel modified with methacrylic anhydride. The hydrogel may be composed of albumin, collagen, silk, or keratin. The composition may be used to modulate an immune response for tissue augmentation and / or as a dermal filler. The composition is non-immunogenic, non-toxic, and may be used for various biomedical applications, including passivation coatings for biomedical devices, depots, and inserts.
