Video Summary

The recent webinar "Insights from Industry" focused on the innovative Motiva Fluor Silk Smooth Tissue Expander, presented by Dr. Dennis Hammond, a board-certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Hammond, with extensive experience in the field, discussed the evolution of two-stage breast reconstruction techniques, highlighting the benefits of the new Motiva device. Key features of the Motiva Fluor expander include a single-port, magnet-free mechanism, an MRI-compatible port, an anatomic shape that resists rotation, an integrated valve with a protective skirt, and fixation tabs for secure placement. The expander's silk surface offers low inflammatory response, enhancing patient comfort and minimizing capsular contracture risk. A significant advantage is its MRI compatibility, allowing radiation therapy planning without distortion. Dr. Hammond emphasized the importance of fat grafting in achieving superior aesthetic results, enabling the creation of an "aesthetic breast reconstruction." The session concluded with an engaging Q&A, where Dr. Hammond addressed questions on radiation therapy compatibility, the benefits of a two-stage reconstruction approach, and the device's regulatory approval status. Recordings of the presentation will be available for ASPS members on their EdNet page.
