SEM and TEM for identification of capsular fibrosis and cellular behavior around breast implants – a descriptive analysis

摘要

SEM figures of explanted breast implants at day 15 and 30 in mice. a and b Explanted breast implants with surrounding capsular tissue in murine models are shown at days 15 and 30. c and d Capsular fragments accumulated in the concavities of the textured implants are shown at days 15 and 30, respectively. e White blood cell accumulation (especially macrophages and lymphocytes) in an implant’s pore is presented at day 15. f Coccoid bacterial accumulation (white arrows) on a murine capsule of day 30 is shown
