The system includes a miniaturized integrated port, an improved locator system and other innovative improvements that address challenges that current facial tissue expander systems present. Only one incision and surgical pocket needs to be made, reducing surgical invasiveness.

Current facial tissue expanders have remote ports, which may become infected or malpositioned, often requiring re-operation. By eliminating remote ports and their associated components and additional surgical pockets, the complication profile is significantly reduced.

There are many indications for the use of this device in tissue flap procedures, including for patients with traumatic injuries, burns, and congenital deformities. These surgeries help restore from and function for patients.

The novel design enables a simplified surgical workflow, which decreases operating room time. In many cases, implantation surgery can be performed under local anaesthesia, reducing operating costs.
