New dissolvable mesh for breast reconstruction under study
NCT ID NCT06511167
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 135 women who have had breast reconstruction after mastectomy using a special dissolvable mesh called TIGR® Matrix. The goal is to see how the mesh affects their quality of life over three years. Participants will fill out a questionnaire about their symptoms and daily activities. The study is observational, meaning it just watches what happens without changing treatment.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the TIGR® Matrix is a safe and effective option for breast reconstruction, improving patient quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. Complications like infection or mesh issues are possible.
