整形和重建外科医生长期以来一直在寻找理想的材料来填充和增强头部和身体的缺陷。 许多最广泛使用的材料给外科医生或患者带来了问题，因此研究仍在继续。在过去的15个月里，我们一直使用膨体聚四氟乙烯（ePTFE）Gore-Tex软组织补片填充鼻唇沟和眉间折痕，并增加颧骨和下巴。早期评价表明，ePTFE性能良好，问题很少，患者和外科医生满意度较高。对从膝关节皮下平面和肘前窝取出的3个月的组织学检查表明，炎症反应极轻微，一些胶原蛋白渗透到假体间隙中。
Plastic and reconstructive surgeons have long sought the ideal material to fill and enhance defects of the head and body. Many of the most widely used materials present problems for the surgeon or the patient, so the search continues. For the past 15 months, we have been using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) Gore-Tex Soft Tissue Patch to fill in nasolabial and glabellar creases and to augment malar bones and the chin. Early evaluation indicates that ePTFE performs well with very few problems, with a high level of patient and surgeon satisfaction. Histological examination of 3-month explants from the postauricular subcutaneous plane and the antecubital fossa indicate minimal inflammatory response and some collagen penetration into the interstices of the prosthesis.
