  • Publication number: 20230128540
    Abstract: Disclosed are a tissue expander for breast reconstruction comprising an MMP sensor and thus being capable of real-time capsular contracture monitoring and treatment, and a patient information system linked thereto. According to these, a patient or medical staff can easily check and evaluate capsular contracture, which may occur when wearing a tissue expander for breast reconstruction, and whether inflammation, a side effect, or the like is caused thereby, even outside the human body in real time. Accordingly, before or when capsular contracture occurs, effective treatment and response are possible.
