GalaFLEX® is a temporary, absorbable scaffold used to strengthen, stabilize and support weakened soft tissue. It was designed to provide support immediately after breast surgery, which allows your body to heal and create a healthy new tissue plane of primarily mature collagen.
GalaFLEX scaffold are made from a biologically derived polymer known as poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB™), which breaks down over time into CO2 and H2O, a process similar to absorbable stitches. This means that your body knows how to metabolize and completely absorb the scaffold safely and naturally. GalaFLEX® scaffolds are offered in a variety of shapes for use in breast surgery procedures. Each GalaFLEX® scaffold is selected by your surgeon specific to your body’s shape and needs.
