A natural breast for cancer survivors: resorbable implant supporting tissue regeneration
REGENERA aims to provide lumpectomy patients with a resorbable implant that promotes natural breast restoration through tissue self-regeneration, minimizing pain and follow-up surgeries.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Of the 3 million women undergoing breast cancer resection every year, only a few opt for breast reconstruction due to pain, concerns about follow-up procedures, and the lack of options.
Current Challenges
For lumpectomy patients, traditional implants cannot be used, with only ~20-30% of lumpectomies being reconstructed. Autologous tissue transfer requires multiple painful interventions to reconstruct large volumes and obtain satisfactory results.
Additional Concerns
Furthermore, both implants and autologous solutions require multiple follow-up surgeries, increasing costs and pain for the patients.
Proposed Solution
REGENERA will be a unique solution for lumpectomy patients: a resorbable implant designed to restore a natural breast through tissue self-regeneration.
Implant Features
- It is a cell-free porous scaffold made of resorbable biocompatible poly(urethane-ester-ether) with a biomimetic architecture.
- It is designed to avoid follow-up surgeries and eliminate the risks associated with silicone and saline implants (rupture, leakage, ALCL) and fat grafting.
