Clinical Guides
Biological Matrix for Breast Reconstruction
A biological matrix is an acellular bovine-pericardium scaffold that supports the implant and pocket in prepectoral breast reconstruction. Learn how it works, how it compares to…
Read Guide → Clinical PillarPrepectoral Breast Reconstruction
Prepectoral breast reconstruction places the implant above the pectoralis muscle, supported by a biological matrix. Learn how it compares to subpectoral techniques, the role of matrix…
Read Guide → Clinical PillarRigottomia (Rigottomy): The Technique Explained
Rigottomia (rigottomy) is a percutaneous release technique that turns tight, scarred or fibrous tissue into a vascularised 3D mesh for autologous fat grafting. Learn how it…
Read Guide → Clinical GuideBiological Matrix, ADM & Synthetic Mesh: A Clinical Comparison
Biological matrix, dermal ADM and synthetic mesh compared for implant-based breast reconstruction. Both dermal ADM and bovine pericardium matrix (ExaShape®) are biological (acellular) matrices; synthetic mesh…
