ACTIVE ENVELOPE SILICONE IMPLANT WITH DRUG SPACE AND MULTIPHASE MODE OF ACTION FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION

摘要

The invention relates to an implant comprising a shell filled with a polymeric gel and/or liquid that is covered with at least one bioresorbable envelope creating a space for a drug containing substance, such that the implant allows for a multiphase mode of action after implantation. The multiphase mode of action comprises a first phase relating to the function of the bioresorbable envelope and a second phase, wherein the resorption of the envelope leads to a release of the drug containing substance. The multiphase mode of the implant allows prevention of capsular contracture (CC) and supports the integration into the body pouch. The invention further relates to a method for the production of said implant as well as a kit comprising the implant and the drug containing substance.
