Mammary Implants TRIZ Cases
- Breast Implant Surface Texture via Uncured Silicone Foam Integration
Applying foam sheets to uncured silicone shells before curing eliminates seams and wrinkles that cause capsular contracture.
- Autologous Fat Grafting with Distractive Force for Breast Augmentation
Applying distractive force to expand breast tissue and increase vascularity improves autologous fat graft survival while reducing necrosis.
- Tissue Expander With Diaphragm Valve Channel
A tissue expander uses a diaphragm valve channel to enable rapid fluid injection into the expansion chamber.
- Lightweight Breast Implant Using Porous Foam Layers
Porous foam layers in a breast implant reduce weight by up to 50% to prevent tissue atrophy and sagging.
- Decellularized Nipple Grafts for Projection Maintenance
Decellularized nipple grafts retain structural proteins to repopulate tissue with keratinocytes, preventing projection loss and necrosis.
- Absorbable Matrix Brassiere for Circum-Mammary Ligament Support
An absorbable matrix brassiere reinforces the circum-mammary ligament to maintain breast projection and shape.
- Post-Lumpectomy Breast Implant Kit with Sizers
Segmented small-volume spherical implants and pre-operative sizers address localized tissue deficits after lumpectomy.
- Elastic Patch Valve Assemblies for Implantable Prostheses
Bonded elastic patches and an internal plug seal implant openings upon tube removal, preventing fluid leakage while maintaining a low profile.
- Adjustable Volume Breast Prosthesis via Segmented Silicone Chambers
Segmented shell bodies with fluid chambers allow independent volume adjustment, resolving the trade-off between adaptability and manufacturing complexity.
- Diced Acellular Dermal Matrix for Breast Volume Restoration
Segmented biomaterial particles conform to irregular resection cavities, resolving asymmetry and reducing fat necrosis risks.
- Magnetic Port Locator for Implantable Medical Devices
A magnetic port locator tool detects the precise location of an injection port within an implantable medical device.
- Expandable Absorbable Breast Implants for Reconstruction
Segmented P4HB implants resolve stretching resistance and cost trade-offs by providing a temporary, fully absorbable scaffold that reduces surgical trauma.
- Breast Pocket Irrigation Apparatus with Vortex Flow
Vortex flow from angular tubes ensures thorough coverage and debris removal, reducing capsular contracture risk.
- Degradable Mesh Implant Void Volume and Strength
Segmented degradable mesh implant creates void volume for tissue regeneration while maintaining mechanical strength to prevent bottoming out.
- Tissue Expander Attachment Flap for Pectoral Muscle Stability
An inflatable tissue expander integrates a flat mesh attachment flap extending beyond the inferior shell edge to secure the pectoralis muscle.
- Biostable Silicone Gel for Breast Implants
High molecular weight silicon polyols cure into a biostable gel matrix that reduces solvent extractables and prevents low molecular weight PDMS leakage.
