Breast Tissue Expander

MENTOR® ARTOURA® Breast Tissue Expanders, available in smooth or SILTEX® Textured Shell Surface, are designed with Dynamic Control Technology™ to help surgeons achieve a desirable expansion profile and a precise pocket for breast reconstruction patients.1,2 The ARTOURA™ Breast Tissue Expander provides the surgeon with increased control of the breast pocket formation* and is engineered to create a more natural, teardrop breast shape.**

Only the MENTOR® ARTOURA® Breast Tissue Expander features Dynamic Control Technology™, which is designed for predictable expansion while reducing the need for distortion-related surgical corrections.3,4

During expansion Dynamic Control Technology® is designed to create natural breast contours by shaping a pronounced lower pole while restraining the upper pole.5

ARTOURA® Breast Tissue Expanders maintain a fixed base width, designed for a seamless transition to the full line of available MENTOR® Breast Implants.6, 7
