摘要:
A tissue expander includes an elastomeric shell having an anterior inside surface and a posterior inside surface with a self-healing layer abutting only a portion of the anterior inside surface. The layer is spaced apart from the posterior inside surface while facilitating folding of the shell prior to insertion into a tissue pocket and also enabling inflation of the shell subsequent to insertion by a fluid injected between the self healing layer and posterior surface.
