1. A flowable multi-phasic implant for the repair and regeneration of tissue, said implant composed of components blended together that resorb in stages wherein:
- a. At least a first component is a plurality of insoluble ceramic granules; and
b. At least a second component is a non-porous collagen gel;
wherein the non-porous collagen gel suspends the granules, providing a level of structural integrity to the implant, and further wherein, at least at a time of implantation into said living being, said implant has a consistency of putty, paste, glue, gel, gelatin or caulking material.

4. A flowable multi-phasic implant for the repair and regeneration of tissue, said implant comprising a plurality of components blended together that resorb in stages wherein:
-
a. at least a first component is a plurality of insoluble ceramic granules; b. at least a second component is insoluble collagen fiber; and c. at least a third component is a non-porous collagen gel; wherein the non-porous collagen gel suspends the granules and fiber, providing a level of structural integrity to the implant, and further wherein said implant is suitable for implantation into a body of a living being, and still further wherein, at least at the time for implantation into said living being, said implant has a consistency of putty, paste, glue, gel, gelatin or caulking material.
