Smooth Tissue Expanders

The Tissue Expander is used in a variety of procedures to develop skin flaps for defect correction. The device consists of a silicone elastomer inflatable expander with a remote silicone elastomer injection dome. The round, rectangular, elliptical, and crescent-shaped expanders are available with a smooth elastomer shell. The expander and remote injection dome are for temporary subcutaneous or submuscular implantation and are not intended for use beyond six months.

The devices have a remote injection dome that is attached to the expander with a length of silicone elastomer tubing. A stainless steel connector is supplied with each of these devices for use in connecting the tubing should shortening of the tubing be desired.

All tissue expanders have polyester mesh reinforced silicone elastomer bases. All injection sites have integral stainless steel needle guards to help prevent inadvertent needle puncture.
