An implantable soft tissue prosthesis device comprising a silicone elastomer-shell filled with silicone gel or liquid, which among the layers that constitute its shell includes a barrier layer formed of a low permeability silicone, which impedes the bleeding or diffusion of the silicone gel from the inside of the implant to its surroundings through the shell. This barrier layer is given a coloration different to the other layers of the shell, making it visible in the finished product. The coloration of the barrier layer gives the fabricator of the implant as well as to medical personnel, the possibility to identify the presence of the barrier layer and its homogeneity, improving the safety of the device.

Medical device for breast reconstruction for containing or integrating a breast implant, the device being designed for placement between the skin and the pectoralis major muscle and is configured to be sutured to the pectoralis major muscle. The device includes a container body having a half shell and a flat appendage joined continuously to a portion of the base of the half shell.

A device to be implanted in a subject's body to form an implant for replacing and/or increasing a volume of soft tissue, the device being of the type including a three-dimensional frame which defines an inner space in the frame. The frame is typically bio-absorbable and includes two side apertures forming a transverse passage for inserting a vascular pedicle. The device further has at least two bio-absorbable textile sheets that can be stacked on each other in the inner space of the frame.

A drain-compatible soft tissue expander can incorporate a drainage structure that allows fluid to be removed from the body of a living subject. The soft tissue expander can include an expandable shell and a drainage structure that can, for example, assist in mitigating or eliminating seromas. The drainage structure can be coupled to the shell at a plurality of locations and be removable therefrom without damaging the expandable shell.

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.
