    Glossary Tissue Expanders

    medical devices that stretch skin for reconstructive surgery

    Tissue expanders are medical devices used to stretch the skin and surrounding tissues, typically in preparation for reconstructive surgery. They are often used in procedures to treat conditions like alopecia or after mastectomies, where the expander is gradually filled with saline over time to encourage the growth of extra skin that can later be used for reconstruction.
