Publication number: 20240008970Abstract: A mastopexy implant for maintaining the breast in an elevated and aesthetically pleasing position includes a lower pole support comprising end portions which may be affixed to the chest wall or to a previously installed upper suspension strut. The implant is loaded in an insertion device. The insertion device is inserted through a small incision and into a subcutaneous pocket created in an inferior half of the breast. The lower pole support may have various constructs and in one embodiment includes a unitary conformable mesh having a plurality of arm or band members which are attached across the breast parenchyma and to the chest wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Tepha, Inc.Inventors: Arikha Moses, Emily Stires, Anthony J. Natale

Patent number: 10722345Abstract: Absorbable implants for breast surgery that conform to the breast parenchyma and surrounding chest wall have been developed. These implants support newly lifted breast parenchyma, and/or a breast implant. The implants have mechanical properties sufficient to support a reconstructed breast, and allow the in-growth of tissue into the implant as it degrades. The implants have a strength retention profile allowing the support of the breast to be transitioned from the implant to regenerated host tissue, without significant loss of support. Three-dimensional implants for use in minimally invasive mastopexy/breast reconstruction procedures are also described, that confer shape to a patient's breast. These implants are self-reinforced, can be temporarily deformed, implanted in a suitably dissected tissue plane, and resume their preformed three-dimensional shape. The implants are preferably made from poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) and copolymers thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: TEPHA, INC.Inventors: Skander Limem, Emily Stires, Rebecca Holmes, Said Rizk, Arikha Moses, Fabio Felix, Bruce Van Natta, Antonio Fosco, David P.
