Magna-Site tissue expander: an innovation for injection site location.
The Magna-Site tissue expander simplifies the use of tissue expanders by facilitating the location of the injection port, thereby reducing the risks associated with faulty injection placement in the past. The injection port is smooth except for the innocuous palpation bumps, drastically reducing the problems of erosion at the injection port site encountered in the past. No drawbacks were encountered with the use of this expander relative to the use of other currently marketed expanders. The new product is available at a cost similar to expanders currently available. It is felt by the authors that this expander represents the next logical step in the evolution of this technology. Just as Dr. Cohen thought, "It will be exciting to see what new devices are created to further enhance the concept of tissue expansion."
