Engineered to advance the standard of care.
- Soft shell, refined design
- Designed to enable a gentler, more predictable expansion, and more comfortable patient experience
- Dual-port, integrated drain design
- Empowers clinicians with immediate, direct, nonsurgical access to the perioprosthetic space for serous fluid drainage and expedited treatment response1
Trusted Predictability and Enhanced Comfort
Convenient port location designed for predictable, consistent expansion and projection
Soft, pliable shell designed to minimize friction upon insertion
Designed without ridges or
rings for improved comfort
6 suture tabs in a 360-degree orientation provide flexible fixation options
One of a Kind Design
- Provides direct, nonsurgical access to the periprosthetic space for in-office, non-surgical serous fluid aspiration
- Facilitates easy, convenient diagnostic fluid sampling for an expedited treatment response1
- Designed to mitigate key risks associated with breast expansion and reduce reoperation rates
- Allows for diagnostic fluid sampling to enable a faster treatment response
Novel Dual-Port Technology enables surgeons to aspirate fluid
"The unique feature of the AlloX2 provides surgeons easy access to the periprosthetic space without altering any of the other characteristics of a tissue expander. While one does not plan to experience a postoperative complication, a valid question in light of the availability of the AlloX2 is why one would forego utilizing a device that facilitates treatment thereof."

AlloX2 Reduces the financial risks associated with reconstructive surgery
MANAGING THE RISKS OF POST-OPERATIVE FLUID ACCUMULATION
Obesity (BMI >30) and use of an Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) have been identified as major risk factors for seroma2
- ~40% of adult patients in the US are obese3
- An ADM is used in over 60% of breast reconstruction cases4
A seroma increases the risk of major infection in breast reconstruction patients
- Risk of infection is 4x higher in patients who develop a seroma2
- Risk of expander loss caused by infection is 6.7x higher in patients who develop a seroma
Clinically relevant infections with poor salvage rates occurred in nearly 1/5 of seroma patients (18.8%)2
With current standard of care, 78% of infections require explanations2
Re-Operation Costs Can Run Upwards of +$20K,5 Which May Not Be Covered By Insurance if Within 30 Days of Initial Surgery6
*ADM currently not approved for use in breast surgery. Please refer to product labeling for more information.
