Kits, components and methods for tissue reconstruction

摘要

Described are components, component combinations, kits and methods useful for creating reconstructed tissue structures such as reconstructed nipple structures. Novel combinations are described involving surgical marking templates, implants having features correlated to the templates, and/or post-surgical shields.

主权项

1. A kit for tissue reconstruction to create a projecting tissue structure, comprising:
at least one surgical template for guiding incisions for creating a patient tissue enclosure for a projecting tissue structure; and at least one reconstruction graft for receipt within the patient tissue enclosure, wherein the surgical template is calibrated to provide a conformal condition of the patient tissue enclosure around the reconstruction graft, wherein said surgical template is configured to guide incisions so as to create tissue flaps having opposable edges, such that when the opposable edges are brought together the tissue flaps form a void for receiving said reconstruction graft such that the inner surface of the tissue flaps is in contact with said reconstruction graft.
