CollPlant begins trial of commercial-size, regenerative breast implants

CollPlant Biotechnologies announced its initiation of a pre-clinical trial to evaluate commercial-size, 3D-bioprinted, regenerative breast implants. Currently, there are no commercial products that allow regeneration of soft tissues such as the breast. “We are very happy with the progress of our regenerative breast implants program thus far, and the initiation of this important study,” said CollPlant’s CEO, Yehiel Tal. “CollPlant’s breast implants in development are unique in that they are designed to regenerate breast tissue as well as have inherent safety advantages. This would be paradigm-shifting in a market that has maintained such a large demand yet has seen increasing issues with safety over the last few decades. A primary goal of this study is to obtain data which would then support the optimization of the implant design and apply this design to a pivotal large-animal study that is intended to be the subject of discussions with the FDA.”
