An implant comprises a structure that may be implanted into tissue and that has a first material property at normal body temperature. The first material property is variable at elevated temperatures above normal body temperature. The implant also has a plurality of particles dispersed in the structure that are adapted to convert incident radiation into heat energy when irradiated with electromagnetic radiation. The particles are in thermal contact with the structure such that exposure of the particles to incident radiation raises the temperature of the structure thereby changing the first material property relative to the first material property at normal body temperature.

Un implant comprend une structure pouvant être implantée dans un tissu et qui possède une première propriété de matériau à la température corporelle normale. La première propriété de matériau varie à des hautes températures au-dessus de la température corporelle normale. L'implant présente également une pluralité de particules dispersées dans la structure et qui sont adaptées pour transformer le rayonnement incident en énergie thermique lorsqu'elles sont irradiées avec un rayonnement électromagnétique. Les particules sont en contact thermique avec la structure de manière à ce que l'exposition des particules au rayonnement incident élève la température de la structure, changeant ainsi la première propriété de matériau par rapport à la première propriété de matériau à la température corporelle normale.
