A composite comprising: a barrier, said barrier being configured to selectively pass water, and said barrier being degradable in the presence of water; a matrix material for disposition within said barrier, wherein said matrix material has a flowable state and a set state, and wherein said matrix material is degradable in the presence of water; and at least one reinforcing element for disposition within said barrier and integration with said matrix material, wherein said at least one reinforcing element is degradable in the presence of water, and further wherein, upon the degradation of said at least one reinforcing element in the presence of water, provides an agent for modulating the degradation rate of said matrix material in the presence of water.

A tissue derived implant is provided having a configuration which is sized and shaped to be disposed within a reservoir of a handling or storage device, the implant having one or more liquid dispersion features for enabling effective hydration of the implant when the implant is disposed in the reservoir and contacted with a biocompatible liquid. The liquid dispersion features form at least one liquid pathway which facilitates collecting and distributing the biocompatible liquid to contact the substantially the entire implant. An implant assembly is also provided which comprises a handling or storage device comprising an elongated reservoir with the tissue derived implant disposed therein. Additionally, an implant kit is provided which comprises a handling or storage device with an elongated reservoir and the tissue derived implant having an elongated configuration sized and shaped to allow the implant to be disposed in the elongated reservoir at the time of use.
