Abstract
The invention relates to a mesh support device (10; 20) for supporting a breast implant (30), wherein the mesh support device (10; 20) is tubular and comprises a first circumferential mesh area (11; 21), which is characterized by a first set of mesh characteristics and which has a first circumferential length, and a second circumferential mesh area (12; 22), which is characterized by a second set of mesh characteristics and which has a second circumferential length, the first set of mesh characteristics being different from the second set of mesh characteristics. The invention relates also to a breast implant device comprising the breast implant (30) and the mesh support device (10; 20).
Claims12
A mesh support device for supporting a breast implant, wherein the mesh support device is tubular and comprises a first circumferential mesh area, which is characterized by a first set of mesh characteristics and which has a first circumferential length, and a second circumferential mesh area, which is characterized by a second set of mesh characteristics and which has a second circumferential length, the first set of mesh characteristics being different from the second set of mesh characteristics, wherein each of the first circumferential length and the second circumferential length forms a part of the total circumferential length of the mesh support device.
A breast implant device for implantation in a human body, comprising:
- a breast implant;
- and
- a mesh support device, in which the breast implant is positioned, wherein the mesh support device is tubular and comprises a first circumferential mesh area, which is characterized by a first set of mesh characteristics and which has a first circumferential length, and a second mesh circumferential area, which is characterized by a second set of mesh characteristics and which has a second circumferential length, the first set of mesh characteristics being different from the second set of mesh characteristics, wherein each of the first circumferential length and the second circumferential length forms a part of the total circumferential length of the mesh support device.
