MENTOR® CPX™4 Breast Tissue Expander
MENTOR® CPX™4 Breast Tissue Expander
Used in breast reconstruction surgery, MENTOR® CPX™4 Breast Tissue Expander is designed to expand primarily in the lower portion of the breast, so the resulting pocket will accommodate the implant and slope like a natural looking breast.1 It also has an integral “injection dome” that allows surgeons to add saline solution to the expander and gradually stretch the breast tissue over several months.2
Features & Benefits
Intraoperative
Soft and flexible BufferZone™ Self-Sealing Patch designed to help ease insertion and removal during tissue expansion for breast reconstruction.3* Suturing tabs offer stability to the MENTOR® CPX™4 with Suture Tabs Breast Tissue Expander, allowing immediate expansion to occur where it is intended before tissue adherence has occurred.Ұ4
During Breast Expansion
The proprietary BufferZone™ Self‐Sealing Patch and the posterior Dacron patch focus the expansion toward the lower pole of the breast.1* More pliant BufferZone™ Patch and smoother injection dome designed for enhanced patient comfort3*.Greater target area and stronger magnet (within the expander) to facilitate location of injection dome.¥5
Continuing Our Commitment to Safety and Reliability
CPX®4 Breast Tissue Expanders maintain key features fundamental to the MENTOR® Tissue Expander Portfolio to continue our legacy of safety and reliability: Smooth and SILTEX® Surface; Suture Tabs; Dacron® Patch; BufferZone® Self-Sealing Patch. CPX® 4 Breast Tissue Expanders include an internal injection dome, which contains a magnet (Reference the IFU for relevant contraindications and warnings).6
2nd Stage Breast Reconstruction Surgery
The proprietary BufferZone™ Self‐Sealing Patch and the Dacron patch drive lower pole expansion to mimic the shape of a natural breast.1
