Abstract: Methods and systems for a protective sleeve for an electronic device according to various aspects of the present technology may function as a substantially impermeable barrier between moisture and/or air and the electronic device. Various embodiments of the protective sleeve may comprise a front panel coupled to a back panel, forming an internal volume that may be sealed toward a bottom open end by an expandable sheet member and a fastener toward a top open end. The expandable sheet member may fold inwardly towards a mid-portion of the internal volume to form a ridge flanked by two inwardly projecting surfaces. Expansion of the expandable sheet member may reduce a degree of inward projection of the two inwardly projecting surfaces above horizontal and may modify the shape of the internal volume to effect standing the protective sleeve upright on a surface.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a tissue expander according to various aspects of the present invention may function in conjunction with an extended tissue expander, such as an extended tissue expander to be temporarily implanted into a patient to form a pocket for a permanent implant. Systems and methods according to various aspects of the present invention may comprise an extended tissue expander configured to increase and/or customize the size and/or shape of a tissue pocket beyond the size and/or shape provided by a conventional tissue expander. The extended tissue expander may comprise a tissue expander coupled to an extension portion. In one embodiment, the extended tissue expander may preserve a breast pocket with a desired teardrop shape that does not need extensive surgical modification before placement of a final breast implant or a tissue flap.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods for a temporary extended tissue expander. Systems and methods according to various aspects of the present invention may comprise an extended tissue expander configured to increase and/or customize the size and/or shape of a tissue pocket beyond the size and/or shape provided by a conventional tissue expander. The extended tissue expander may comprise a tissue expander coupled to an extension portion. In one embodiment, the extended tissue expander may preserve a breast pocket with a desired teardrop shape that does not need extensive surgical modification before placement of a final breast implant or a tissue flap. In another embodiment, the extended tissue expander may be modified to the precise dimensions of a final breast implant for the simple exchange of the extended tissue expander for the final breast implant.
