The Safe Resumption of Elective Plastic Surgery in Accredited Ambulatory Surgery Facilities During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
[BACKGROUND] On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) a worldwide pandemic, resulting in an unprecedented shift in the Canadian healthcare system, where protection of an already overloade…

The future application of nanomedicine and biomimicry in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Plastic surgery encompasses a broad spectrum of reconstructive challenges and prides itself upon developing and adopting new innovations. Practice has transitioned from microsurgery to supermicrosurgery with a possible future role in even s…

Development, fabrication and evaluation of a novel biomimetic human breast tissue derived breast implant surface.
[UNLABELLED] Breast implant use has tripled in the last decade with over 320,000 breast implant based reconstructions and augmentations performed in the US per annum. Unfortunately a considerable number of women will experience capsular con…

Functional biocompatibility testing of silicone breast implants and a novel classification system based on surface roughness.
[PURPOSE] Increasing numbers of women undergo breast implantation for cosmetic and reconstructive purposes. Contracture of the fibrous capsule, which encases the implant leads to significant pain and reoperation. Texture, wettability and th…

Breast implant surface development: perspectives on development and manufacture.
Capsular contracture poses a significant clinical and scientific research challenge for breast surgeons. Some researchers have pointed to the surface features of implant devices as being responsible for the potential tightening and hardenin…

Patterning of novel breast implant surfaces by enhancing silicone biocompatibility, using biomimetic topographies.
[INTRODUCTION AND AIMS] Silicone biocompatibility is dictated by cell-surface interaction and its understanding is important in the field of implantation. The role of surface topography and its associated cellular morphology needs investiga…

Current implant surface technology: an examination of their nanostructure and their influence on fibroblast alignment and biocompatibility.
[UNLABELLED] Systematic reviews indicate that breast implant texture confers a protective effect on capsular contracture. Fibroblasts are affected by micro- and nanotopographies. Few previous studies have investigated the inherent topograph…
