Container device for breast prosthesis for breast reconstruction surgery

Abstract

Medical device for breast reconstruction containing or integrating a breast implant, designed to be placed between the skin and pectoralis major, suitable for suturing on the same muscle, in which the device consists of a container body consisting of a half-shell (2) and a flat attachment (3), the flat attachment (3) is continuously connected to a portion of the base of the half-shell (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The purpose of this patent application is to create a device containing a breast prosthesis. Background technique [0002] Surgical procedures currently used to reconstruct the breast after mastectomy are divided into two techniques, the main difference between the two techniques being the number of stages required for the reconstruction process. [0003] In a technique with two stages, the surgeon prepares the submuscular pocket by creating a space between the chest wall and the pectoralis major muscle, which is separated at the inferior and intermediate nodes of the fourth intercostal space. [0004] The surgery is then performed laterally along the cut side of the serratus anterior. [0005] A specific tissue expander is then inserted into the pocket. [0006] Gradually insufflate over the next few days until the desired degree of swelling is achieved. The dilator is then removed by a second surgical procedure, but no earlier than 4-6 months, and...
