The Magna-Site tissue expander simplifies the use of tissue expanders by facilitating the location of the injection port, thereby reducing the risks associated with faulty injection placement in the past. The injection port is smooth except for the innocuous palpation bumps, drastically reducing the problems of erosion at the injection port site encountered in the past. No drawbacks were encountered with the use of this expander relative to the use of other currently marketed expanders. The new product is available at a cost similar to expanders currently available. It is felt by the authors that this expander represents the next logical step in the evolution of this technology. Just as Dr. Cohen thought, "It will be exciting to see what new devices are created to further enhance the concept of tissue expansion."
Magna-Site组织扩张器通过便于找到注射端口简化了组织扩张器的使用，从而降低了过去因注射位置错误而产生的风险。注射端口除了有无害的可触知凸块外很光滑，极大地减少了过去在注射端口部位遇到的侵蚀问题。与使用目前市场上销售的其他扩张器相比，使用这种扩张器没有遇到任何缺点。该新产品的成本与目前可用的扩张器相似。作者认为这种扩张器代表了这项技术发展的下一个合理步骤。正如科恩博士所想：“看到为进一步完善组织扩张概念而创造出的新设备将会令人兴奋。”
