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. 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.

Features & Benefits

Intraoperative

Intraoperative

The soft and flexible proprietary BufferZone™ Self-Sealing Patch is designed to help ease insertion and removal.* 1-4

Tabs at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions of the MENTOR® CPX™4 with Suture Tabs Breast Tissue Expander allow for left to right alignment during expander placement.**5-8

*as compared to previous tissue expanders
**as compared to tissue expanders without suture tabs

During Breast Expansion

During Breast Expansion

The proprietary BufferZone™ Self-Sealing Patch and the posterior Dacron Patch focus breast expansion towards the lower pole of the breast.9

The BufferZone™ Self-Sealing Patch surrounds the integral injection dome to protect at least 50% more of the expander surface area (than the injection dome alone) from accidental needle puncture to minimize and/or prevent device leakage and the need for additional surgery.10
