Applied Medical Launches Device for Breast Implant Removal

Applied Medical Technology, Inc. has announced the U.S. launch of Explant Express®, a new device designed to aid in the removal of ruptured breast implants. The device is intended to improve efficiency and control during explant and revision procedures for plastic surgeons.

Device Description and Function

The Explant Express® breast implant suction retrieval device is designed to connect to standard operating room suction systems. It facilitates the controlled removal of ruptured breast implants, helping to contain silicone gel and shell to minimize surgical field contamination and improve operating room efficiency. Breast implant rupture is a potential complication that may require surgical removal, and traditional methods can be time-consuming and increase the risk of silicone gel spreading. The Explant Express® aims to address these challenges through rapid, suction-assisted retrieval of implant material.

Key Features

The Explant Express® device includes several features designed for ease of use and effectiveness:

• Suction-assisted retrieval of ruptured breast implants
• Helps contain silicone gel and shell
• Compatibility with standard operating room suction systems
• Ergonomic, no-slip design
• Separable chamber for inspection of retrieved material
• Universal design compatible with a range of breast implant sizes

The device is manufactured in the United States and is now available to plastic and reconstructive surgeons nationwide. Additional information can be found at https://www.appliedmedical.net/surgical/explant-express/.
