Presence of Biofilms on Polyurethane-Coated Breast Implants: Preliminary Results.
Polyurethane-coated breast implants seem to be associated with lower medium- and long-term capsular contracture rates in comparison to textured or smooth implant surfaces. Although the etiology of capsular contracture is uncertain, bacteria…

Role of bacterial biofilms in patients after reconstructive and aesthetic breast implant surgery.
[INTRODUCTION] Capsular contracture is a feared complication following both reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery. The etiology is uncertain, but bacterial biofilms have been suggested as trigger for chronic peri-implant inflammation,…

Bacterial biofilms and capsular contracture in patients with breast implants.
[BACKGROUND] It has been hypothesized that bacterial biofilms on breast implants may cause chronic inflammation leading to capsular contracture. The association between bacterial biofilms of removed implants and capsular contracture was inv…
