<p>A surgical implant namely a tissue expander or adjustable implant having a synthetic mesh loosely attached to the surface. The mesh is elastic in all directions and the implant adjustable or expandable. The expandable implant is filled to an over filled volume into the surrounding tissue until a new capsule forms. At this stage the volume of the implant is reduced leaving the supporting capsule with the mesh at a larger volume. The volume of the implant is then reduced thus rendering a tension free capsule around the implant. The filling tube of the adjustable implant is then removed leaving the adjustable implant in position. Alternatively the tissue expander may be removed and a new implant placed in the expanded tension free pocket.</p> |
