  • MEDICAL DEVICES TO LIMIT MOVEMENT OF BREAST IMPLANTS
    Publication number: 20230404738
    Abstract: Breast fixation devices for use in breast reconstruction and breast augmentation limit the rotation or movement of breast implants after implantation that results in an unnatural appearance of the breast. The breast fixation devices can include a thin-walled enclosure in the shape of a pouch. A breast implant is secured inside the pouch to limit movement by applying compression to the breast implants, or using a mating or interlocking mechanism between the pouch and breast implant. The pouches containing the breast implants are implanted in the breast. Tissue in-growth into the pouch limits movement of the pouch-breast implant assembly and thereby limits rotation, migration, and displacement of the breast implant. The pouches preferably comprise poly-4-hydroxybutyrate or copolymer thereof.
    Type: Application
