Applied Medical Technology, Inc. (AMT), a U.S.-based medical device manufacturer specializing in surgical innovation, has announced the nationwide launch of the Explant Express®, a suction-assisted device designed to improve the efficiency and safety of ruptured breast implant removal during explant and revision surgeries.
The device connects to standard operating room suction systems, enabling controlled removal of ruptured breast implants while containing silicone gel and shell fragments. By minimizing silicone spillage, the Explant Express® aims to reduce surgical field contamination and enhance operating room workflow.
Breast implant rupture is a known complication that can occur over time, often necessitating surgical removal. Traditional extraction methods can be time-consuming and may increase the risk of silicone gel spreading within the surgical pocket, presenting challenges for both surgeons and patients.
The Explant Express® addresses these issues by allowing rapid, suction-assisted retrieval of ruptured implant material. Its ergonomic, no-slip design ensures precise handling, while a separable chamber allows surgeons to inspect the retrieved contents. The device is also compatible with a wide range of implant sizes, making it versatile for various procedures.
“Applied Medical Technology, Inc. is committed to developing practical solutions that address real procedural challenges,” said Joe Harr, Surgical Sales Manager. “The Explant Express® breast implant suction retrieval device was designed to help plastic surgeons improve efficiency and control when removing ruptured breast implants.”
Key Features of the Explant Express® include:
- Suction-assisted retrieval of ruptured breast implants
- Containment of silicone gel and shell fragments
- Compatibility with standard operating room suction systems
- Ergonomic, no-slip design for enhanced control
- Separable chamber for inspection of retrieved material
- Universal design for a variety of implant sizes
Manufactured in the United States, the Explant Express® is now available to plastic and reconstructive surgeons nationwide. For more information, visit Applied Medical Technology
