The LASAK BioniQ catalogue for 2022 is out now. So, what can you find in there? We are continuously expanding the range of the BioniQ implant system according to the current trends, and your suggestions and requirements.

The same base can be used for conventional and digital workflows as required. Bases marked AN allow for the construction of an angled shaft for the screw so that the screw access hole comes out in the ideal position in the crown.

Angled screw channels will help you improve the aesthetics of the treatment or facilitate access to the screw channel in the distal section with limited vertical space. Explore the options for designing angulated screw channels.

These are components that are useful when planning and fixing a surgical template on edentulous or partially edentulous jaws. The reference pin for guided surgery allows the stable anchoring of a surgical template, which is essential for safe and accurate implant placement.

BioniQ individual abutments with a pre-milled original Q-Lock connection are now also available in cobalt-chrome. The abutments for the QR and QN platforms are compatible with Amann Girrbach and nt-trading holder systems.

B-Lite breast implants are manufactured with either a smooth outer shell or a textured outer shell, which is described by the company as a micro texture. They are available in round shapes with 3 different profiles and also in anatomical variants. All of their implant range have a proprietary extra light weight silicone-borosilicate filler, making this implant range unique in being around 30% lighter than conventional breast implants. These help to tackle the issue of the effects of gravity on larger volume heavier implants on breast tissue.These implants were introduced in 2015 by G&G Biotechnology a company founded in 2005, and taken over by the prestigious German breast implant manufacturer Polytech Health &Aesthetics in 2018. They are CE certified. Find out more about the B-Lite implants here.

Eurosilicone implants are now owned by GC Aesthetics. These implants have a standard silicone outer shell and the implant is filled with a cohesive silicone gel. They are CE marked. This is not an implant range that Mr Turton uses, but he has had much experience in swapping them out from previous patients augmented in the past with this variety. They have a typical section of differing sizes, projections, tear drop and round styles. The round implants are available with a textured or smooth surface.

Ideal implants are available in the USA as a high profile device with a silicone shell. They are a two-chamber implant with multiple sheets of solid silicone elastomer (the same material that the shell is made of) between the inner and outer chambers. They have a part saline fill. The inner saline chamber is the larger of the two, and there are several solid silicone elastomer baffles (sheets of the silicone shell material) between the larger inner chamber and the smaller outer chamber. Instead of having one fill port as with conventional, single-chamber saline implants, there is an anterior fill port for the smaller outer chamber and a posterior fill port for the larger inner chamber. As with conventional saline implants, the structured Ideal implant is inserted deflated with one fill tubing attached to the outer chamber and another fill tubing attached to the inner chamber. Both chambers are filled once the implant is in place. They have had FDA approval since 2014.

In September 2012, VeriTeQ entered into a development and supply agreement with Establishment Labs to produce the Motiva Implant Matrix brand which is available as a smooth, very lightly textured or micro-textured shell. They are filed with silicone gel. They can be purchased with a microchip inside the implant that uses radio frequency transmission to signal what type of implant is in the patient. They may be round, oval or contoured in shape. They received European CE mark approval at the end of 2013.

Nagor implants are made in the UK but are now owned by GC Aesthetics who also own the Eurosilicone range. These implants may come with a textured or smooth surface, in round or anatomical shapes, with silicone or saline. They have CE mark certification and fall under the umbrella company GC Aesthetics. The textured implants were withdrawn in France and suspended in Australia in 2019. They are still available in the UK.

Polytech Health and Aesthetics is a large German implant manufacturer. They are made with smooth, microtextured or polyurethane coated shells, in round and anatomical shapes. The implants have CE mark certification. They also now own the BLite implant product range.

Groups Sebbin is a French Company that makes a variety of breast implants and tissue expanders. The implants include round and anatomical variants, with a silicone gel or saline filler. They have a variety or profiles and sizes. The implants have CE mark certification.

There is no such thing as a "standard" breast implant. Silicone breast implants since 1962 have in common the presence of silicone in the shell with or without silicone in the contents of the shell. There are, however, a substantial number of characteristics that differentiate the more than 240 U.S. made breast implants and expanders (Middleton, 1997). Many of these features are of slight consequence, but at least some of them have, or are reported to have, important influences on the biologic responses to, and complications of, implantation. Consideration should be given to the potential contributions of these influences as well as to the basic influence of silicone generically or of a specific silicone compound when assessing the consequences of breast implantation.

Unfortunately, the medical literature describing clinical experience with local and systemic complications of implants has often not specified the make and model of implants or their important characteristics. This has been improving, especially when reporting prospective trials (e.g., Burkhardt et al., 1986; Burkhardt and Demas, 1994; Burkhardt and Eades, 1995; Coleman et al., 1991; Hakelius and Ohlsen, 1992; Weinzweig et al., 1998). Many reports have been retrospective, however, and routinely women are unable to identify their implants. Medical records may be incomplete in this respect, or authors may not have appreciated how different implants can be and the value of taking the time to characterize implant populations by type, model, and manufacturer. Some implants were custom made for individual plastic surgeons or were made in small numbers by even the major manufacturers. Breast implants in the United States have come from one of more than ten companies, most of which no longer exist and many of which changed names and ownership over the years. Implants also were made in less usual types such as triple-lumen, gel-saline single lumen, reverse double lumen, or gel-gel double lumen. Little attention has been paid to reporting these minor product lines, and each one is likely to constitute a small number in any reported series. In many of these instances, implant records, descriptions, and specifications may not exist or may be only partially complete from the most detailed clinical source or the manufacturers themselves (Middleton, 1998a).

Not all of the implant variations noted here will have important clinical implications, but some have the potential to, are hypothesized to, or have been reported to cause local or systemic health effects or complications that are relevant to the safety of silicone breast implants. Potential associations (e.g., shell thickness and rupture, shell texturing or coating and contracture, gel or saline fill and systemic effects, gel consistency and tissue penetration, gel composition and toxic response) are noted in the relevant chapters of this report. This chapter describes the kinds of implants as far as possible, and gives important product names and dates of market entry and exit to help identify the implants that are, or might be, involved in studies reported in the medical literature and to help understand the implications of these studies. More complete knowledge of the specific characteristics of implants in use at various times might provide some guidance in interpreting clinical reports. Such information would be useful prospectively. The committee concluded that as complete information as possible about the device itself would be helpful to an understanding of the safety of silicone breast implants.

There are a number of examples in the plastic surgery literature in which an appreciation of the implants being used could enhance an understanding of the medical and scientific implications of a particular report. Relatively thick shells in early-1970s implants may have retarded the outward diffusion of high-dose intraimplant SoluMedrol and explained the reported lack of steroid complications reported by Perrin (1976) as noted later (Cohen, 1978a; Perrin, 1978). Measurements of peri-implant, capsular tissue silicon or silicone levels vary independently of implant age and capsule pharmacological reactivity but might be related to shell (or gel) characteristics (Baker et al., 1982; Evans and Baldwin, 1996; Peters et al., 1995a; Teuber et al., 1995a). One report showed a "poor but positive" correlation of silicon levels with the age of a group of implants that presumably all had low-bleed shells (McConnell et al., 1997).
