The Tissue Expander market is a segment of the Medical Devices industry. Tissue expanders are used to stretch the skin and underlying tissue to create a pocket for the placement of a prosthetic device, such as a breast implant. They are also used to stretch skin for reconstructive surgery, such as after a mastectomy. Tissue expanders are typically made of silicone and are inserted under the skin through a small incision. The expander is then gradually filled with saline solution over a period of weeks or months, allowing the skin to stretch and accommodate the implant. The Tissue Expander market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a variety of products. Some of the major players in the market include Allergan, Mentor Worldwide, Sientra, GC Aesthetics, and Establishment Labs. Show Less Read more
