New Evaluation Procedure for Multi-Dimensional Mechanical Strains and Tangent Moduli of Breast Implants: IDEAL IMPLANT<sup>®</sup> Structured Breast Implant Compared to Silicone Gel Implants

The IDEAL IMPLANT<sup>&#174;</sup> Structured Breast Implant is a dual lumen saline-filled implant with capsular contracture and deflation/rupture rates much lower than single-lumen silicone gel-filled implants. To better understand the implant&#8217;s mechanical properties and t...
