Kind Code: A1 Provided is a filler for the purpose of increasing volume in any of the medical fields, particularly (skin) surgery and cosmetic fields. Preparation of non-crosslinked, high-purity and high molecular weight alginate solutions (sols) as fillers for the purpose of increasing volume, both in the medical field, in particular in (skin) surgery and in the cosmetic field. Use of an alginate, wherein the alginate is non-crosslinked, high purity, and high molecular weight alginate solution (sol) in an amount of 0.5% to 2.5% (w / v) alginate solids. Present in concentration, the uncrosslinked, high purity, and high molecular weight alginate solution is injected in vivo and is used to induce spontaneous Ca 2+ crosslinking in situ without the addition of exogenous crosslinking agents. To the corresponding sphincter system, for example for the treatment of wrinkles in the hands, face and decollete, for example in the case of breast (HIV-induced) lipoatrophy, for the treatment of volume reduction For the treatment of selected diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, urinary incontinence, and vesicoureteral reflux disease, and particularly for use in reconstruction surgery for cosmetic purposes Purity and use of high molecular weight alginate solution (sol).
