Can a reinforced tissue matrix improve breast reconstruction safety?
NCT ID NCT05736848
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study looks back at the experiences of 200 people who had breast reconstruction surgery using a device called OviTex PRS. The goal is to understand how safe this device is by tracking any complications that occurred within two years of the surgery. The study also examines how well the reconstruction looked and how the surgical process went. By reviewing past cases, researchers hope to gather useful information about the device's performance in real-world settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- OviTex PRS, a reinforced tissue matrix used to support soft tissue during implant-based breast reconstruction
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide valuable safety data on OviTex PRS, helping surgeons make informed decisions about its use in breast reconstruction.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be limited by the retrospective design and potential biases.
