Summary

This study is being conducted in women who are at least 22 years old,+ and will be undergoing either a unilateral or bilateral mastectomy with immediate two-stage post-mastectomy alloplastic prepectoral breast reconstruction (initial insertion of a tissue expander on top of the chest wall muscle followed by change-over to a breast implant after a period of tissue expander inflation).

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Melodi Matrix. .

The Melodi Matrix is an absorbable mesh that contains antibacterial agents (medicines that fight infections caused by bacteria) and is wrapped around tissue expanders before being implanted. After approximately 9 weeks, the mesh will fully absorb into the body.
