Applied Medical Technology, Inc. (AMT), a medical device manufacturer focused on surgical innovation, today announced the U.S. launch of the Explant Express®, a breast implant suction retrieval device designed to support the efficient removal of ruptured breast implants during explant and revision procedures.
The Explant Express® breast implant suction retrieval device connects to standard operating room suction and is designed to enable controlled removal of ruptured breast implants. The device helps contain silicone gel and shell to reduce surgical field contamination and support operating room efficiency.
Breast implant rupture is a known complication that may occur over time and often requires surgical removal. Traditional removal of ruptured implants can be time-consuming and may increase the risk of silicone gel spreading within the surgical pocket.
The Explant Express® breast implant suction retrieval device was developed to address these challenges by enabling rapid, suction-assisted retrieval of ruptured implant material.
“Applied Medical Technology, Inc. is committed to developing practical solutions that address real procedural challenges,” said Joe Harr, Surgical Sales Manager. “The Explant Express® breast implant suction retrieval device was designed to help plastic surgeons improve efficiency and control when removing ruptured breast implants.”
Designed Specifically for Ruptured Breast Implant Removal
Features of the Explant Express® breast implant suction retrieval device include:
- Suction-assisted retrieval of ruptured breast implants
- Designed to help contain silicone gel and shell
- Compatible with standard operating room suction systems
- Ergonomic, no-slip design to support handling and control
- Separable chamber to allow inspection of retrieved material
- Universal design compatible with a range of breast implant sizes
The Explant Express® breast implant suction retrieval device is manufactured in the United States and is now commercially available to plastic and reconstructive surgeons nationwide.
