Background: Biologic and synthetic meshes are used in immediate implant-based breast reconstruction for coverage of the lower pole of the implant. This study aimed to compare outcomes of Veritas with TiLOOP bra 

Study results

Comparison of the Veritas group with the TiLOOP® Bra Group:
- Overall higher complication rate in the Veritas group: 54% vs. 14% of breasts

- Higher seroma rate/ non-integration in the Veritas group: 51.4% vs. 1.6% of breasts

- More implant rotations in the Veritas group: 16.2% vs. 1.1% of breasts

- Higher infection rate in the Veritas group: 18.9% vs. 2.1% of breasts

- More wound dehiscence in the Veritas group: 10.8% vs. 0.5% of breasts

Mesh versus acellular dermal matrix in immediate implantbased breast reconstructione A prospective randomized trial

This prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter pilot study was performed at four Austrian breast cancer centers. Fifty patients with oncologic or prophylactic indication for mastectomy and IBBR were randomized to immediate IBBR with either an ADM(Protexa) or a titanized mesh (TiLOOPBra).

Da evidenziare sia il 30% di perdita di impianto nel gruppo di Protexa(contro il 7 % di tiloop),sia il miglior outcome estetico e grado di soddisfazione del gruppo Tiloop BRA.

Subcutaneous Direct-to-Implant Breast Reconstruction: Surgical, Functional, and Aesthetic Results after Long-Term Follow-Up

Aim of this study is to analyze the long-term results, both objective and subjective, of a previous nonrandomized trial comparing pre- pectoral (subcutaneous) and retropectoral breast reconstructions using Titanized Mesh

Despite advancements in surgical techniques, suture pull-though and rupture continue to limit the early range of motion and functional rehabilitation after flexor tendon repairs. The aim of this study was to evaluate a suturable mesh compared with a commonly used braided suture in an in vivo rabbit intrasynovial tendon model.

The small bites surgical technique supported by the STITCH trial has been touted as a strategy for Laparotomy closures fail due to suture pull-through. I hypothesize that a suturable mesh may limit pull-through via mechanisms of force distribution and fibrous encapsulation of the device filaments.

The small bites surgical technique supported by the STITCH trial has been touted as a strategy for preventing early laparotomy dehiscence through greater force distribution at the suture–tissue interface. However, this hernia prevention strat- egy requires an alteration in the standard closure technique that has not been widely adopted in the USA. This study seeks to determine whether incorporating a mid-weight polypropylene mesh material into a hollow-bore surgical suture material will effectively increase the force distribution at the suture–tissue interface and potentially help prevent early laparotomy dehiscence in an ex vivo model.
