Softspan™ Expanders

The SSP Softspan™ Tissue Expander design concept is the minimization of all critical potential erosion points. To this end, SSP has developed low and flat profile expander designs that can be used in the most difficult of cases while minimizing traditional areas of concern.

The smooth rectangle shaped expander incorporates Dr. Bruce Bauer's years of clinical experience in dealing with the most difficult reconstructive expander cases. Rounding of all edges and a remote injection port with the lowest possible point of attachment reduces the initial profile of the expander.

The curvilinear and angle expanders encompass Dr. Hugh Vu's considerable experience with pediatric and adult burn reconstructive cases. Designed to address the unique requirements of large defect reconstruction, the zone texturing utilizes the assets of both smooth and textured surfaces, allowing for ease of expander insertion as well as secure expander/tissue interface during expansion.

SPECIFIC DESIGN POINTS:

• Low Profiles reduce initial profile of expanders.
• Rounding of all edges and reduced profiles of all critical reinforced areas minimize potential erosion points.
• Reinforced Bases facilitate placement and "roll-out" of expanders.
• Integrated Precision Point™ magnetic injection port system or remote port options offer flexibility for each unique case.
• Smooth, Textured, or Zone Textured surface options.
• Winged Needle Infusion Set conveniently supplied sterile with each expander for incremental filling with your delivery system of choice.
