Bilateral swelling self-inflating tissue expanders
- Abstract:
-
Hydrogel tissue expander (HTE) self-inflates in vivo by gradually absorbing body fluid. It eliminates the regular injections required by the conventional balloon-type tissue expander and provides a more progressive stretching process to the tissue. Previously, the hot-compressed anisotropic HTE (A-HTE) has achieved uniaxial swelling and could potentially match defects of anisotropy. This present work applied die-drawing as the solid-state processing to impart shape memory to the crosslinke...
