Abstract
The present application has as its object a medical device, specifically for breast reconstruction, made from a biomaterial, characterized from a flat original shape of plane geometry, with sections, which when sutured together, define the front part, lateral, upper and lower of a box element, at least one of the aforesaid sections having at least one appendix adapted to define the rear part of the aforesaid box element, said box element being adapted to enclose or containing integrally a breast prosthesis, said box element being interposed between the skin and the pectoralis major muscle and being suturable to the latter.
Claims12
Medical device (1), for breast reconstruction, characterized from a flat original shape of plane geometry, with sections, which when sutured together define the front part (9), lateral (10a, 10b), upper (11) and lower (12) of a box element (13), at least one of the aforesaid sections (3, 103) having at least one appendix (14a, 14b, 114) adapted to define the rear part (19) of the aforesaid box element (13), said box element (13) being adapted to said box element being adapted to enclose or containing integrally a breast prosthesis (8), said box element (13) being interposed between the skin and the pectoralis major muscle (21) and being suturable to the latter.
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that it comprises a flat sheet (102) divided into two sections (103) arranged opposite one another and each having a substantially triangular shape with concentric vertices, said sections (103) defining a central (104) plane, possibly with perforations, and with first bases (105), variously curved.
Device according to claims the 11 that is characterized by the fact that in correspondence with the vertex in which converge said first sides (lO6) of said two sections (LO3) are formed with cuts (122) shaped eyelets.
