    Abstract: A biocompatible hydrogel and method for augmenting soft and hard tissue, wherein the hydrogel comprises at least one gel former and the hydrogel is used to augment tissue when introduced into a desired tissue site. The hydrogel may comprise at least one of a carbomer, a poloxamer and a combination thereof. The hydrogel may have a yield strength of about 300 gm/cm-sec to about 12,000 gm/cm-sec and require less than about 10 lbf to extrude the hydrogel from a 1 cc syringe having a 25 gauge ½? length needle at a rate of 2 inches per minute.
