Antibiotic levels with tissue expanders in breast reconstruction
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how much antibiotic stays in the tissue around a tissue expander, a temporary implant used in breast reconstruction. It aims to help prevent infections after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled to have breast reconstruction using a tissue expander, either now or later.
- You are not allergic to vancomycin, tobramycin, or the materials in the expander.
- You do not have advanced kidney disease (eGFR below 30).
- You are not taking strong immunosuppressants (like prednisone 10 mg daily or biologics).
- You are not pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding during the study.

This trial looks at different ways to place tissue expanders during breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It aims to find which technique gives better results for women with breast cancer or high genetic risk.
This study tests a new “smart” expander device used during two-step breast reconstruction or breast augmentation. It may help doctors improve how tissue expanders are managed before a final implant is placed.
This Phase 2 study looks at whether changes in the body’s “microbiome” (the normal germs in and on the body) are linked to infections after breast surgery with implants. It may help doctors better predict and prevent implant infections in people undergoing mastectomy with immediate implant placement.
This trial tests whether placing antibiotic beads near the surgical site during breast reconstruction can help prevent infections. It is for women having a mastectomy followed by immediate breast reconstruction with a tissue expander.
This study is tracking how a silicone breast expander (a temporary balloon placed under the skin to stretch it) and a permanent silicone breast implant perform over time in women who need breast reconstruction. It aims to make sure the Silimed-brand expander and implant are safe and work well.
This study looks at how safe and effective a special type of breast implant (called a tissue expander) is for people who need breast reconstruction or revision. The implant has a built-in valve that lets doctors adjust it over time.
