Testing a vacuum device to improve breast fat reconstruction
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an external vacuum device (EVEBRA) can help surgeons place fat grafts more effectively during breast reconstruction. You may be able to try the device in an office visit and, if you qualify, receive reconstruction using only your own fat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 23 to 69
- Your weight is fairly stable, with BMI between 18 and 35
- You had a full mastectomy at least 3 months ago, with no pectoralis muscle removed
- You plan to do reconstruction at this time using only your own fat (no implants or other materials)
- Your surgeon believes you have enough donor fat for grafting
- You can comfortably wear and tolerate the EVEBRA device for 20 minutes during a test in the clinic

This study tests a new way to find important blood vessels in the chest wall using ultrasound before breast surgery. If successful, it could help surgeons plan partial breast reconstruction more precisely.
This study compares two ways to rebuild the breast after mastectomy and radiation using your own tissue: fat grafting alone, or a more complex surgery using abdominal tissue. The goal is to see which method gives better results and quality of life.
This trial tests a “full breast reconstruction” approach for people who are planning or have had a breast removal (mastectomy). It may help improve how reconstruction is done and whether you can use the external expansion device as part of the process.
This study tests a new breast reconstruction method using Motiva Flora implants and your own fat to rebuild the breast after a mastectomy. It is for women who need tissue expansion as part of their reconstruction and have completed cancer treatments at least one year earlier.
This trial compares three methods for moving your own fat into the breast during breast surgery. It may help improve how well fat grafting works and how surgeons choose the best method for you.
This trial uses MRI scans to measure how well a patient's own fat stays after breast or chest wall reconstruction. The goal is to improve our understanding of fat transfer procedures.
