If treatment for breast cancer requires the removal of the entire breast (mastectomy), the breast may be surgically reconstructed either during the same session or later when the cancer therapy is complete. This involves reconstruction of the breast using either the body’s natural tissues or a silicone implant. SERAGYN^® BR PA/SERASYNTH^® MESH BR mesh implants are used to reinforce the soft tissue. A fixation with appropriately placed sutures may prevent the expander or the implant from slipping off both caudally alaterally.

The meshes are integrated into the tissue structure by the ingrowth of body cells. As partially absorbable mesh only a reduced proportion of polypropylene remains in the body. The material used for SERAGYN^® BR PA/SERASYNTH^® MESH BR have a tested tissue compatibility. The use of mesh implants facilitates symmetrical asjustment.

SERAGYN^® BR PA can be placed in a sterile irrigation solution, such as LAVANID^® wound irrigation solution, prior to surgery. LAVANID^® wound irrigation solution consists of isotonic Ringer's solution and is preserved with polyhexanide. Soaking the mesh in LAVANID^® wound irrigation solution makes it more pliable. LAVANID^® wound irrigation solution is also suitable for use during surgery or for wound irrigation at the end of the procedure. Care must be taken to ensure that the solution can drain freely when irrigating body parts.
