<p>Provided is a tissue expander with which reliable expansion of skin is possible. The tissue expander (10) is equipped with a base plate (15) fastened to the back surface of skin (20), and a pouch body (14) held between the back surface of skin (20) and the base plate (15). The tissue expander (10) is designed to expand the skin (20) through dilation of the pouch body (14) between the back surface of skin (20) and the base plate (15). The pouch body (14) can thereby be received and retained by the base plate (15), even in instances in which the expanding pouch body (14) sinks towards the inside of the body due to repellant force of the skin (20). The pouch body (14) can thereby be reliably distended out towards the skin side, and the skin (20) can be expanded in a reliable manner.</p> |
