Plastic and reconstructive surgeons have long sought the ideal material to fill and enhance defects of the head and body. Many of the most widely used materials present problems for the surgeon or the patient, so the search continues. For the past 15 months, we have been using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) Gore-Tex Soft Tissue Patch to fill in nasolabial and glabellar creases and to augment malar bones and the chin. Early evaluation indicates that ePTFE performs well with very few problems, with a high level of patient and surgeon satisfaction. Histological examination of 3-month explants from the postauricular subcutaneous plane and the antecubital fossa indicate minimal inflammatory response and some collagen penetration into the interstices of the prosthesis.
整形外科医生长期以来一直在寻找理想的材料来填充和改善头面部及身体的缺损。许多最广泛使用的材料对外科医生或患者都存在问题，因此寻找仍在继续。在过去的15个月里，我们一直在使用膨体聚四氟乙烯（ePTFE）戈尔特斯软组织补片来填充鼻唇沟和眉间纹，并垫高颧骨和下巴。早期评估表明，ePTFE表现良好，问题很少，患者和外科医生的满意度很高。对取自耳后皮下平面和肘前窝的3个月植入物进行的组织学检查表明，炎症反应极小，并且有一些胶原蛋白渗透到假体的间隙中。
