Braxon® is an innovative collagen-based acellular dermal matrix (ADM) that made possible a one-step muscle-sparing breast reconstruction, in which the implant, wrapped in the ADM sheet, can be positioned subcutaneously and there is no need to detach the pectoralis major. In contrast to traditional subpectoral surgery, the Braxon® prepectoral technique brings significant clinical and aesthetic advantages to the patients already on the short-term: they experience less complications and less postoperative pain, have a faster recovery and ultimately get a natural and symmetrical looking breast. From this preliminary study Braxon® emerges as the biological matrix that is revolutionising the breast reconstruction field.
