Nasal bridge augmentation rhinoplasty using surgiform implant.
Alloplastic or bio synthetic materials was used to create implants for rhinoplasty for decades and are popular options recommendedby plastic surgeons for their patients, especially in Asia. They can be used in both open or closed rhinoplasty methods and even the complicated structural rhinoplasty procedure. The synthetic materials included medical grade silicone, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) or a mix of the two.

What is Surgiform?.
Surgiform Technology, Ltd. is a global leading companies in manufacturing surgical implants and device for aesthetic treatment. Surgiform implant is a common term referring to their premium implants line up included the SFAM (ePTFE Sheets and Carvable Blocks) as raw material for custom implant applications and PureForm, their preformed facial implants collections with product for chin, nasal and cheek augmentation, which is also made from ePTFE. This article discuss characteristics of the Nasal Implant in that line up.
As mentioned, ePTFE is the scientific named for the materials, it have multiple characteristics that is ideal for in body implant applications. It is soft, bendable material that can be easy carved and alter to fit patient body. It is also a durable material that is resistant against physical, chemical and bio fluids. Which mean that it is not degrade or deform under pressure, heat, or react to tissues and a wide range of chemicals. This help reduce the risks of inflammation and body rejection. It also have a non stick and low friction surface that make it ideals to reduce patients pain in certain application. This materials have been approved by the FDA for multiple medical applications, most notably being the artificial blood vessels.
It's greatest characteristics is being porous, which mean it have millions of ultra-microscopic pores that mimic the characteristics of natural bone, that is why it is also being referred as synthetic or bio composed cartilage. These microscopic holes promoting tissue in growth during tissue integration process, help reduce any allergy reaction and reduce the risk of implant migration or forming capsular contracture. This trait ensure patients to achieve a beautiful natural nose with minimal risks involved.
Advantages.
As mentioned, the Surgiform implants offer multiple advantages that can be listed as:
+ Being highly compatible with body to limits rejection or allergic reactions.
+ It support the tissue integration process better, help forming strong attachment that reduce risks of implant migration.
+ It is extreme durable and can keep its properties under exposing to multiple factors from biological, physical to chemical ones, making it safe to keep in the body.
Disadvantage.
- Higher allergy than Silicon Implant.
Comparison of Silicon Implant and Surgiform Implant.
Due to the mentioned properties, they are better to used for cases of thin nostrils skin. It reduce the risk of implant extrusion or exposure that is associated with using silicone implants in these cases.
