Claims25
A tissue expander comprising:
- an implantable portion comprising a fluid source in communication with an expandable chamber, wherein the expandable chamber includes an anterior portion and a posterior portion, wherein the anterior portion includes a first deformable member and a second deformable member, wherein the first deformable member is disposed within the second deformable member, wherein the first deformable member has a thickness that is greater than a thickness of the second deformable member, and wherein the fluid source is secured to the posterior portion,
- wherein the implantable portion further comprises a communication component that comprises a floating antenna, the communication component secured to an inner surface of the first deformable member, the antenna configured for wireless communication with an external controller,
- wherein the communication component is in operable communication with the fluid source.
