Abstract
Methods, systems, and compositions for treatment are provided. The methods can be used to stretch and completely or nearly completely wrap a composition around an implant or tissue expander. The systems can be used to protect an implant or tissue expander by completely or nearly completely wrapping a composition around the implant or tissue expander. The compositions can be used to completely or nearly completely wrap around an implant or tissue expander to provide support and protection to the implant or tissue expander.
Claims14
A method of treatment, comprising:
- providing a composition, the composition including a tissue matrix or synthetic material defining a composition body, the composition body including a central region and at least two extensions having a mesh pattern formed therein, the at least two extensions protruding from opposing sides of the central region;
- positioning the composition onto an implant or a tissue expander with the central region of the composition disposed against an anterior side of the implant or the tissue expander;
- stretching and expanding the at least two extensions at the mesh pattern to wrap the composition around the implant or tissue expander such that one extension of the at least two extensions is wrapped in a first direction around the implant or tissue expander and another extension of the at least two extensions is wrapped in an opposing direction to secure the composition to the implant or tissue expander;
- and
- engaging the at least two extensions with each other at a posterior side of the implant or the tissue expander, the posterior side opposing the anterior side of the implant or the tissue expander.
