Medical devices are provided, comprising a medical device and a sensor.

The particle (1) is suitable for the manufacture of an implantable soft tissue engineering material and comprises a three-dimensionally warped and branched sheet (2) where:(i) the three-dimensionally warped and branched sheet (2) is made from a biocompatible material having a Young's modulus of 1 kPa to 1 GPa;(ii) the three-dimensionally warped and branched sheet (2) has an irregular shape which is encompassed in a virtual three-dimensional envelope (3) having a volume VE;(iii) the three-dimensionally warped and branched sheet (2) has a mean sheet thickness T;(iv) the three-dimensionally warped and branched sheet (2) has a volume VS;(v) the particle (1) has a Young's modulus of 100 Pa to 15 kPa; and(vi) the particle (1) further comprises a number of protrusions (4) where the three-dimensionally warped and branched sheet (2) reaches the envelope (3);(vii) the particle (1) has a number of interconnected channel-type conduits (5) defined by the branching of the sheet (2) and / or by voids in the sheet (2); and(viii) where the conduits (5) have (a) a mean diameter DC; and (b) an anisotropicity index of 1.01 to 5.00.

A method for at least partial deacetylation of a biopolymer comprising acetyl groups, including: a1) providing a biopolymer including acetyl groups; a2) reacting the biopolymer including acetyl groups with hydroxylamine (NH2OH) or a salt thereof at a temperature of 100° C. or less for 2-200 hours to form an at least partially deacetylated biopolymer; and a3) recovering the at least partially deacetylated biopolymer.

A breast implant device for implantation in a human body includes: a breast implant; and a mesh support device, in which the breast implant is positioned. The mesh support device is tubular and includes: a first circumferential mesh area, which is characterized by a first set of mesh characteristics and which has a first circumferential length, and a second mesh circumferential area, which is characterized by a second set of mesh characteristics and which has a second circumferential length. The first set of mesh characteristics is different from the second set of mesh characteristics. Each of the first circumferential length and the second circumferential length forms a part of the total circumferential length of the mesh support device. The first set of mesh characteristics includes distension and said distension is higher than 8%.

This invention relates to a tear trough implant prosthesis, which is used for implantation below the orbicularis oculi muscle of the lower eyelid. The prosthesis is prismatic in shape, with an equilateral triangular cross-section. The prosthesis has a structure of triangular prism segments of uniform thickness, or a combination of segments that are divided from one end to the other into several segments ranging from thin to thick, with each segment having a uniform thickness. The tear trough implant prosthesis of this invention solves the problems of the filler not being absorbed and its durability, and is safe, effective, and clearly improved. It is flexible, has good height support due to its special morphological structure, can restore the peak-like structure of the tear trough when viewed from the side, and its width does not change.
