Intended Use
The NATRELLE® Tissue Expanders are used in breast reconstruction following mastectomy, treatment of underdeveloped breasts, and treatment of soft tissue deformities. The expanders are intended for temporary subcutaneous implantation and are not intended for use beyond six months.
Device Story
NATRELLE® 133 Tissue Expander is a silicone elastomer device for temporary soft tissue expansion. It consists of an expansion envelope with a BIOCELL® textured surface, three suture tabs, and a MAGNA-SITE® integrated injection site containing a titanium needle guard. The device is implanted subcutaneously by a surgeon. During the expansion phase, sterile saline is injected into the site; the MAGNA-FINDER® Xact external locating device uses rare-earth magnets to identify the injection site location through the skin. The suture tabs facilitate surgical placement. The device is used in clinical settings for breast reconstruction or soft tissue deformity correction. It benefits patients by gradually stretching skin and soft tissue to create space for subsequent reconstructive procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing of the suture tab material was performed per ISO 10993-1:2009. Suture tab bond integrity was validated per ISO 14607:2007(E) and ASTM F1441, meeting all predetermined acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Silicone elastomer expansion envelope with BIOCELL® textured surface; MAGNA-SITE® injection site with self-sealing port, titanium needle guard, and rare-earth permanent magnets; Mohawk P118 polyester mesh suture tabs. Dimensions vary by style/size. Non-powered, passive implantable device. Sterilization method not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for breast reconstruction post-mastectomy, treatment of underdeveloped breasts, and soft tissue deformities. Intended for temporary subcutaneous implantation (max 6 months).

| Device Description: | Allergan's Tissue Expanders are constructed from silicone elastomer and consist of an expansion envelope with a BIOCELL® textured surface, three suture tabs, a MAGNA-SITE® integrated injection site (incorporating a titanium needle guard), and a stable, reinforced base to enable outward expansion. The three suture tabs are attached to the posterior surface of the shell at approximately the 12 o'clock, 4 o'clock, and 8 o'clock positions of the tissue expander. The Tissue Expanders are available in seven styles and each style consists of six sizes for a total of 42 products, to meet diverse surgical needs. | | |
| | The MAGNA-SITE® injection site and MAGNA-FINDER® Xact external locating device contain rare-earth, permanent magnets for an accurate injection system. When the MAGNA-FINDER® Xact external locating device is passed over the surface of the tissue being expanded, its rare-earth, permanent magnet indicates the location of the MAGNA-SITE® injection site. All injection sites contain a self-sealing port and a titanium needle guard to prevent inadvertent puncture through the base of the injection site. | | |
| Intended Use: | The NATRELLE® Tissue Expanders are used in breast reconstruction following mastectomy, treatment of underdeveloped breasts, and treatment of soft tissue deformities. The expanders are intended for temporary subcutaneous implantation and are not intended for use beyond six months. | | |

#### Special 510(k): Device Modification NATRELLE® 133 Tissue Expanders with Suture Tabs
The predicate device and the modified device utilize the same fundamental Technological Characteristics: technology:
- · A silicone expansion envelope with a BIOCELL® textured surface, which expands with sequential injections of sterile saline
- · A silicone injection site, with self-sealing port, a magnetic locating system and a titanium needle guard
In accordance with ISO 10993-1:2009 and Allergan's internal standards and Biocompatibility procedures, a biocompatibility review of Mohawk P118 polyester mesh was Data: performed. Based on the test results, the material is approved and considered qualified for use in the suture tabs of NATRELLE® Tissue Expanders. All other materials used in NATRELLE® Tissue Expanders are identical to those used in the predicate device.
Suture tab bond integrity was tested in accordance with ISO 14607:2007(E), Performance ASTM F1441 and Allergan's internal standards and procedure, and Testing: predetermined acceptance criteria were met.
The device passed all preclinical testing, indicating that no new questions of Conclusions: safety and effectiveness are introduced with the proposed modification. NATRELLE® 133 Tissue Expander with Suture Tabs is substantially equivalent to Allergan's currently marketed NATRELLE® Style 133 Series Tissue Expander Matrix (K862203).
