The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of implanting a new medical device (Fractomer™ Biomatrix) in healthy volunteers. The main question it aims to answer is: How do healthy volunteers react to this injectable implant? Participants will receive a subcutaneous injection of Fractomer and their health will be monitored. After the monitoring period, the implant will be removed.
This clinical trial is designed to establish the safety of a new injectable device, which may provide a more effective means of treating deformations or voids in soft tissue. Healthy volunteers will be implanted in the subcutaneous space in the abdominal area, and health measures will be periodically recorded. The device will be removed per the protocol time periods, and the removed specimens will be examined for histological analysis by a trained pathologist. All data will be reviewed to determine the safety of this implanted, bioresorbable device.

Number of participants with fever
Each participant's temperature and signs of fever will be measured at each in-person visit as a measure of potential systemic reaction to the implanted device.
Time frame: Periodically over six weeks
Number of participants with abnormal blood chemistry measures
Participants will undergo blood draws at in-person visits to monitor serum chemistry. Any abnormal results that the investigator considers of concern will be flagged for follow-up. Each participant's blood chemistry will be measured at each in-person visit and evaluated as a measure of potential systemic reaction to the implanted device.
Time frame: Periodically over six weeks
Number of participants with abnormal hematology results.
Participants will undergo blood draws at in-person visits to monitor hematology/CBC profile. Any abnormal results that the investigator considers of concern will be flagged for follow-up. Each participant's CBC profile will be measured at each in-person visit and evaluated as a measure of potential systemic reaction to the implanted device.
Time frame: Periodically over six weeks
Number of participants with abnormal coagulation results.
Participants will undergo blood draws at in-person visits to monitor their coagulation profile. Any abnormal results that the investigator considers of concern will be flagged for follow-up. Each participant's coagulation profile will be measured at each in-person visit and evaluated as a measure of potential systemic reaction to the implanted device.
Time frame: Periodically over six weeks
Number of participants with local signs of irritation or toxicity (observed at injection site)
Participants will be examined at each in-person visit for any redness, swelling, bruising, pain, or tenderness at the injection site.
Time frame: Periodically over six weeks

Number of participants with subjective signs of systemic response.
Participants will undergo check-ins with investigators at in-person visits to monitor subjective signs of systemic reactions, including severe headaches or serious malaise. Any signs that the investigator considers of concern will be flagged for follow-up.
Time frame: Periodically over six weeks
Number of participants with rejection or extrusion of the injection
Participants will undergo check-ins with investigators at in-person visits to monitor the injection site, including an examination for any evidence of rejection or extrusion of the implanted device.
Time frame: Periodically over six weeks
Number of SAEs
Participants will undergo check-ins with investigators at in-person visits to monitor their health. Any SAE which is considered by the investigator to be injection- or device-related will be detailed and followed up per the protocol.
Time frame: Periodically over six weeks
Participant cellular responses to implanted device.
Excised implants will be sent to expert pathologist assessment. The pathologist will note any observed peri-implant pathological response, including measures of inflammatory cell infiltrate, vascularization, fibrosis, notes on any residual implant, and the pathologist's overall conclusion on impact of the Fractomer™ implant.
Time frame: After the six week explant timepoint.
