Definitions

• the present invention relates to nanoparticle-containing implantable products and their use in medicine, in particular for thermotherapeutic post-treatment after surgical removal of tumors and cancerous ulcers.
• tumor cells After surgical removal of tumor tissue, there is almost always the problem that tumor cells remain in the body (incomplete resection). After sealing the wound, these tumor cells can grow back into a larger tumor and / or metastasize. For this reason, the chemotherapeutic after-treatment, which is very stressful for the patient, takes place. However, since as little as possible healthy tissue is to be removed, the surgeon must achieve a compromise between as complete as possible tumor removal and the least possible removal of healthy tissue.
• the object of the present invention is to provide products and methods for a more effective post-treatment after cancer surgery.
• implantable medical devices containing nanoparticles which can be heated in the alternating magnetic field enable a significantly improved after-treatment in cancer operations compared to chemotherapy when these medical devices are implanted or introduced into the surgical area.
• the present invention thus relates to a solid or gel-like medical product which can be heated by an alternating magnetic field, wherein the medical device is in the form of a physiologically compatible tissue, sponge, film or gel and wherein magnetic particles are contained in the medical product which are excited by an alternating magnetic field generate and thereby heat the medical device.
• MFH-P02366WO06 Registration Decisive in the case of the medical device according to the invention is that the particles, ie the particles excitable in the alternating magnetic field, are stored or adhered to the medical device in a stationary manner.
• aqueous solutions of magnetic particles are prepared to either direct the particles loaded with pharmacologically active ingredients through a static magnetic field to a specific site of action or aqueous solutions of excitable in the magnetic alternating field particles are injected directly into a tumor, so that the particles in the Enrich tumor cells and destroy the tumor cells by generating heat.
• the heat is generated primarily by hysteresis heat losses of the particles.
• the medical devices according to the invention are not aqueous or physiological aqueous solutions or suspensions of the magnetic particles, but solid or gelatinous carriers such as e.g. a fabric or film in which the particles are firmly embedded. If they are not biodegradable medical devices, the particles remain permanently in the medical device and after implantation, the medical device remains permanently at the implanted position, similar to a dental implant or artificial knee joint.
• the area where the implanted medical device is located may still be at any time, i. after one week after implantation, after one month after implantation, after one year after implantation, and after 10 years after implantation.

• These sponges are placed in the wound after surgery and fill the operating room largely or even partially. From these spongy structures, the magnetic particles can be released, but the particles can also be present in tightly bound form. The release can be effected both by diffusion of only loosely bound particles from the cavities of the porous structure and by biodegradation of the sponge structure, if the particles are incorporated or incorporated in the material of the sponge structure itself.
