Additional Information for Tissue Expander Implant
Tissue expander implants are medical devices used in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. They fall under the supply class of Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies, which is part of the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
Tissue expander implants are primarily used to stretch and expand the skin and underlying tissues in order to create space for subsequent surgical procedures. They are commonly used in breast reconstruction surgeries following mastectomy, as well as in other procedures such as scalp reconstruction, scar revision, and correction of congenital deformities.
The tissue expander implant consists of a silicone shell that is inserted under the skin and muscle. This shell is then gradually filled with saline solution over a period of time, usually through a small valve or port. The gradual expansion of the implant helps to stretch the surrounding tissues, allowing for the creation of a larger area of skin and soft tissue.
Once the desired expansion is achieved, the tissue expander implant is typically removed and replaced with a permanent implant or used to facilitate the transfer of autologous tissue (such as fat or muscle) from another part of the body.
Tissue expander implants are available in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different patient needs and surgical goals. They are considered a valuable tool in reconstructive surgery, helping to restore form and function to areas affected by trauma, disease, or congenital abnormalities.
It is important to note that the use of tissue expander implants requires specialized training and expertise, and should only be performed by qualified healthcare professionals.
