Oxtex medical
The Oxtex soft tissue expander has the potential to replace existing tissue expanders, transform how some plastic surgery is done and open a market for entirely new procedures.
The concept of soft tissue expansion is very well established in this area. Oxtex offers surgeons a superior solution to currently available expanders, namely a self-inflating device whose expansion can be better controlled and whose expansion profile can be tailored to the individual surgical application. Oxtex soft tissue expanders reduce the number of times a patient has to visit the hospital thereby increasing patient benefit and reducing costs.
Reconstructive Surgery
Soft-tissue expansion is a well-established concept in reconstructive surgery and surgeons have made use of this natural phenomenon for some time. It is a reliable method to provide additional cutaneous tissue which has the same texture, skin tone, colour, hair follicle density and distribution as the adjacent tissue. In the reconstructive domain, Oxtex soft tissue expanders address a wide range of surgical applications. Click here for selected applications:
Cosmetic Surgery
Cosmetic surgery for aesthetic purposes is a growing market worldwide. The most common surgical procedure in which soft tissue expanders may be used is breast augmentation. An implant is inserted in a pocket either behind the pectoral muscle against the chest wall or behind the breast tissue above the pectoral muscles. Implants contain either saline solution or silicone gel.
