The ExaShape line is not seven versions of the same idea. It is seven answers to seven different clinical questions.
A product line can be a convenience or a strategy. When it is a strategy, each configuration exists because a specific clinical scenario asked for it. The ExaShape line is built that way. All seven configurations share the same foundation, bilayer bovine pericardium processed to preserve its collagen architecture, but each is shaped for a different reconstructive decision. Here is how they map.
Prepectoral, direct-to-implant
BioShield Pocket. A meshed bovine pericardium membrane with a patented pocket design for prepectoral reconstruction. It covers the anterior part of implants up to 560 cc in a quick and reproducible way, without the need to suture into the muscle. This is the workhorse for standardised prepectoral DTI.
BioShield Pocket 3D. A pre-shaped, three-dimensional pocket for prepectoral reconstruction, covering the anterior part of implants up to 650 cc in a full non-touch technique. When the priority is a hands-off workflow and a larger implant volume, this is the configuration built for it.
Complex prepectoral
BioShield Pocket PRo. An enhanced bilayer pericardial pocket for complex reconstruction procedures that call for greater mechanical performance. When the case is demanding, this is the reinforced member of the pocket family.
Tailored coverage
PREPEC. A perforated bovine pericardium membrane designed to cover different parts of the implant according to the surgeon’s needs. When a case calls for judgement rather than a fixed pocket, PREPEC provides the flexibility to cover exactly what the anatomy requires.
Subpectoral
Grid. A perforated membrane in a half-moon shape designed for subpectoral reconstruction, covering the lower part of the implant. For dual-plane and subpectoral approaches, Grid supports the lower pole where support is needed most.
Two-stage
Expander. A rectangular perforated membrane designed for tissue expander use, supporting the expansion phase in two-stage reconstruction. When the pathway is staged, Expander is built for the first act.
Nipple-areola reconstruction
NAC. A perforated membrane designed to support nipple-areola complex reconstruction. For the finishing stage of the reconstructive journey, NAC provides biological support where detail matters.
Choosing across the line
The value of a full line is that the decision moves from “will this device fit my case” to “which configuration was designed for it.” Prepectoral or subpectoral. Direct-to-implant or two-stage. Standardised pocket or tailored coverage. Whole reconstruction or nipple-areola detail. In each case, the underlying material behaves the same predictable way, moving through early inflammation, neoangiogenesis, collagen formation, and remodelling, so the surgeon’s choice is about fit and technique, not about relearning the biology each time.
One material philosophy. Seven configurations. A single line that follows the patient from the first operation to the last.
Seven decisions. One line engineered to answer each of them.
