Skin-port tissue expander

Skin-port tissue expanders are implantable devices designed to gradually increase tissue volume beneath the skin, often used in reconstructive surgery. They help create sufficient skin coverage for subsequent procedures, such as breast reconstruction or scar revision, by expanding tissue over time with controlled fluid or air injection.

These devices are typically single-use and require professional medical access for inflation. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on risk and intended use, with oversight ensuring safety and performance before market availability.
