1. A biocompatible viscoelastic gel slurry comprising a two phase mixture, a first phase being a particulate biocompatible gel phase, said gel phase comprising a chemically cross-linked glycosaminoglycan, or said glycosaminoglycan chemically co-cross-linked with at least one other polymer selected from the group consisting of polysaccharides and proteins, said gel phase being swollen in a physiologically acceptable aqueous medium and being uniformly distributed in the second phase, said second phase comprising a polymer solution of a water-soluble biocompatible polymer selected from the group consisting of polysaccharides, polyvinylpyrrolidone and poly ethyleneoxide in said physiologically acceptable aqueous medium, and wherein the polymer solution in the two phase mixture constitutes from 0.01 to 99.5% and the gel phase constitutes the remainder.
