In the realm of medical devices, breast tissue expanders are specialized devices used in breast reconstruction procedures, typically after mastectomy. They serve to stretch the skin and surrounding tissue to make room for a permanent breast implant. These devices are silicone shells filled with either saline or air, which can be gradually inflated over time through the use of an internal valve to accommodate the desired volume increase. The technology plays a crucial role in reconstructive plastic surgery, allowing for an aesthetic restoration that can help alleviate the psychological and physical impacts of breast tissue loss. Typically, the expansion process takes several months, with periodic inflations, to achieve the necessary space before a permanent implant can be placed. As a niche within the medical device sector, the breast tissue expander market incorporates a range of products varying in shape, size, and functionality, catering to individual patient needs and surgical approaches. Some prominent companies operating in the breast tissue expander market include Allergan (now part of AbbVie), Mentor Worldwide LLC (a Johnson & Johnson company), Sientra Inc., GC Aesthetics, and PMT Corporation. These companies are known for their development and provision of medical devices tailored to breast reconstruction and plastic surgery applications. Show Less Read more
