Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the quality of life of participants who have undergone implant-based breast surgery. This will be done using the BREAST-Q questionnaire. The study also aims to demonstrate that the fully resorbable TIGR® Matrix is safe and effective.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This national, multicentre, prospective, non-randomized post market surveillance clinical device investigation will be performed to obtain information on the resorbable surgical mesh TIGR® Matrix used during an implant-based breast surgery. Data will be collected on the participants' quality of life as well as on the rate of complications of the device under investigation.
