What are the advantages of polyurethane-coated breast implants?
The manufacturer claims that the incidence of capsular contracture is lower for MPS implants than for other silicone breast implants with smooth or textured shells. The texture of the foam coating is believed to disrupt the organisation of the cells that form the fibrous capsule, thus making the capsule less likely to contract. They also claim that movement or rotation of the implant is less likely due to better adhesion to the underlying tissue.
