Regenerative Collagen Scaffold Offers Better Options for Reconstruction of Soft Tissue in Surgery
March 4, 2021
Breast conserving surgery, otherwise known as lumpectomy, is performed on nearly 1.3 million breast cancer patients globally, each year. Complete removal of cancerous tissue and preservation of the breast’s shape, appearance, and consistency are central to the patient’s quality of life, post-surgery.
It is extremely challenging for surgeons to predict the cosmetic outcome of such surgeries given variations in tumor size, shape and location, the unpredictable nature of the tissue repair process, and effects of additional therapy. Currently there are no commercial products that allow surgeons to predictably restore, reconstruct, or regenerate soft tissues, such as the breast.

New technology may help improve tissue restoration outcomes for breast cancer and other diseases
New technology from Purdue University innovators may help improve tissue restoration outcomes for people with breast cancer and other diseases or traumatic injuries.
Purdue researchers, along with fellowship-trained breast surgeon Carla Fisher of Indiana University School of Medicine, teamed up with Purdue startup GeniPhys to develop and perform preclinical studies on a regenerative tissue filler.
This is a first-of-a-kind, in situ scaffold-forming collagen. When applied as a filler for soft tissue defects and voids, it shows promise for accelerating and improving tissue restoration outcomes. The team s work is published in
