Dear Daril: These implants and Medpore as the basic material is same but how ever some thing wrong with this particular implant as most of these BIOPORE implant have an issue even with out pegging they prone to extrude from 2 weeks to one year time duration.
we are putting medpor since 2000, we haa a few case that extrude, but we could able to manage well with small surgery, but these implants are tough to manage as the raw surface of necrotizing tissue does not allow us to work furrther
if you look at the extrusion rate with Medpor compare to HA implant, HA implant have higher extrusion than Medpor
i would say that basic structure of the implant Chemistry is now as good as medpor, even having the same material as company complaints, Porous Polyethethelene.
Regards
Kuldeep
