NCT ID NCT07185334
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a polyester mesh coated with fluoropolymer can reduce complications after breast reconstruction in women with breast cancer. One hundred women will receive either standard reconstruction or reconstruction with the coated mesh. The main goal is to see if the mesh lowers the chance of the implant pushing through the skin.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- polyester mesh with fluoropolymer coating
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this mesh could lower the risk of implant protrusion and other complications after breast reconstruction.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study without a control group, so results may not apply broadly. The mesh could still cause seroma or capsular contracture.
