The invention concerns a polyfunctional carrier device composed of biocompatible and substantially biodegradable material suited to be carried within organic fluids and/or environments for carrying out at least an operative function, a system for carrying out at least an operative function within organic fluids and/or environments and employing for the purpose one or more polyfunctional carrier devices. A peculiarity of the biocompatible and substantially biodegradable polyfunctional carrier is that it comprises - a main body (12), composed of biocompatible and biodegradable material, in particular suited to constituting a reservoir (15) for a substance to be administered and provided with at least an opening (13,14) for the outflow of the fluid and/or substance towards said organic fluids and/or environments; actuation means (16,17;21-25,40,+,-) of at least a function of the polyfunctional carrier (10) within organic fluids and/or environments. It further comprises, associated with the main body (12), magnetic means (30,31) suited to assuming a defined magnetic polarity for the guiding and positioning of said carrier (10) within organic fluids and/or environments by magnetic fields operating externally to said organic fluids and/or environments, in particular associated with outer surfaces (13,14) of the main body (12), and suited overall to generating a magnetic field defined, polarized and directed in order to aggregate a plurality of carrier devices (10) in a spatial configuration defined by said magnetic means.
