5 results about "Tissue expander" patented technology

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.

A tissue expansion sleeve comprising a tube formed of woven polymer; the woven polymer forming helical trusses; and a biologically active material disposed on an outer surface of the tube.

The present disclosure provides meshed acellular dermal tissue matrix compositions, devices, and methods of use. The meshed devices can be used in conjunction with a variety of implants such as breast implants or tissue expanders.

The invention relates to the field of instruments for inputting a medium into a human body or onto the human body, and discloses an intelligent pressure and quantity control skin soft tissue dilator adaptive to a home scene, which comprises a dilation bag, a catheter connected with the dilation bag, an injection pot connected to the other end of the catheter and a water injection component, and the injection pot is an external injection pot; the water injection assembly comprises an automatic infusion pump, a water injection pipe connected to the automatic infusion pump, a pressure sensor installed on the water injection pipe, a buckle detachably connected to one end of the water injection pipe and a liquid storage bottle connected to the other end of the water injection pipe. The device further comprises a controller, the controller is electrically connected with a control panel, and the pressure sensor and the automatic infusion pump are both electrically connected with the controller. The buckle is a sleeve type buckle, an injection needle is arranged on the inner wall of the buckle and communicated with the water injection pipe, strip-shaped telescopic notches are evenly formed in the side wall of the buckle in the vertical direction, and an elastic connecting piece is connected between the free ends of every two adjacent telescopic notches. By adopting the device, a patient can safely and conveniently inject water at home.

A prosthetic implant, such as a tissue expander, includes a silicone shell having an anterior wall and a posterior wall, and a needle stop patch secured over an inner surface of the posterior wall of the silicone shell. The needle stop patch has two or more layers of a textile material that are stacked atop one another. The textile material is flexible and includes woven threads or fiber. A bonding material bonds together the two or more layers of the textile material that are stacked atop one another. The outer edges of the respective layers are feathered for minimizing step effects between adjacent ones of the layers. A self-sealing membrane covers the anterior wall of the silicone shell. The dernier level of the textile layers increases between top and bottom layers for progressively increasing resistance tom a needle passing through the needle stop patch.
