The ideal matrix for Breast Reconstruction with implant.

Pre-pectoral (3D film)

  • An implant is placed above the pectoralis major muscle and TIGR Matrix supports and stabilizes the implant. TIGR Matrix promotes soft tissue repair and long-term support.
  • Complete coverage or anterior coverage of the implant with TIGR Matrix is possible.
  • The prepectoral procedure allows for better quality of life for the patient with less postoperative pain.
  • Immediate reconstruction after a mastectomy is possible, allowing the patient to recover faster, have a better body image as well as obtaining satisfying aesthetic outcome.
