In the last few years, breast reduction procedures in the U.S. have become increasingly common. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, nearly 100,000 breast reduction procedures were performed in 2020.
This procedure involves a high-tension T-Junction suture in which three incisions meet, forming the shape of a T. Larger breast reductions with longer incisions may have a higher risk of complications and wound healing problems at the T-Junction, which represent 13 to 39% of wound breakdown. It's known that decreased blood flow to the wound, which then reduces the amount of oxygen to the area, promotes wound breakdown.
Dr. Alejandro Zulbaran-Rojas, first author, research assistant II in the Michael E DeBakey Department of Surgery Related StoriesAfter four weeks, there were no device-related adverse effects. The team was pleased to see that 84% of the participants had a positive attitude toward using the device, 78% perceived it as easy-to-use and 77% considered it useful. Furthermore, the wounds treated with the device had higher tissue oxygenation than the wounds that were treated with traditional care.
