Absorbable Antibacterial Soft Tissue Support in Breast Reconstruction - ARIA - Clinical Trial
¿Cuál es el Propósito de este estudio?
This study lasts about twelve months and includes around twelve to eighteen visits, most of which are regular visits you would have even if you were not in a study. The study is testing a device called the Melodi Matrix. It is a special mesh that has medicine to fight bacteria. The mesh is placed around tissue expanders before they are put into the body. After about nine weeks, the mesh dissolves and is absorbed by the body.
