Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Described herein are devices for placement in surgically created soft tissue spaces, potential spaces, or cavities. The implantable devices generally include a bioabsorbable body having an open framework that facilitates attachment of tissue thereto in a manner that helps avoid post-surgical deformities. Methods for using the implantable devices in oncoplastic surgery are further described.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . An oncoplastic device for positioning within a cavity or space formed by surgical removal of tissue, the wherein the oncoplastic device comprising: a body including a semi-rigid open framework to provide structural support to the cavity or space and allow seroma fluid to pass through the open framework so that the seroma fluid can promote tissue regrowth within the body of the oncoplastic device to at least partially reconstruct the breast; and a therapeutic drug for treatment of cancer, or to improve tissue healing, or to prevent infection, or a combination thereof.
