Abstract

Breast augmentation is a common aesthetic surgery, and there are two major surgical methods for breast implant delivery: the finger method and the plastic film method. There are advantages and disadvantages for each method, and we have developed a pre-lubricated polypropylene (PP) injector that might be the most suitable device for delivering breast implants. By covering the interior surface of the injector with the hydrophilic coating, the friction coefficient was significantly reduced when sliding a silicone sled against the pre-lubricated PP injector. In order to confirm the pre-lubricated PP injector would not damage the breast implant, fatigue testing was performed and the result showed the injector did not cause rupture or microleakage of the breast implant. In addition, the cell viability result demonstrated the pre-lubricated PP injector was biocompatible. In addition, the pre-lubricated PP injector provides a small incision site and stability during breast implant delivery. Our results provided evidence that the pre-lubricated PP injector is a smooth and safe method for breast implant delivery.

乳房植入物输送用预润滑聚丙烯注射器

隆胸是一种常见的美容手术，隆胸植入物的输送主要有两种手术方式:指法和塑料膜法。每种方法各有优缺点，我们开发了一种预润滑聚丙烯(PP)注射器，它可能是最适合植入乳房的装置。通过将亲水性涂层覆盖进样器的内表面，在预润滑的PP进样器上滑动硅胶滑橇时，摩擦系数显著降低。为了确认预润滑PP注入器不会损坏乳房假体，我们进行了疲劳测试，结果显示注入器不会造成乳房假体破裂或微泄漏。此外，细胞活力结果表明预润滑PP注射器具有生物相容性。此外，预润滑PP注射器提供了一个小的切口位置和稳定的乳房植入物交付。我们的研究结果证明预润滑PP注射器是一种平稳、安全的乳房植入方法。
