MESMO®

Fine microtextured shell surface

The MESMO® fine microtextured implant shell surface is appreciated for its properties and ease of use which allows MESMO® to be utilised for a variety of indications.
Available in round and anatomical implant shapes, and in 4 projections: Low, Moderate, High and Extra High. 

MESMO® fine microtextured shell combines the benefits of both smooth and textured surfaces. The capsular contracture rates for MESMO® surface is low3.

POLYtxt® 

POLYTECH Microtextured shell surface

This microtextured surface is manufactured to provide a greater surface irregularity than MESMO® yet with gentle contours. 
POLYtxt® is designed to provide greater surface irregularity to deliver greater tissue adherence. 

Available in round and anatomical shapes, and in 4 projections: Low, Moderate, High and Extra High. 

POLYtxt® surface is available in 80 markets and implanted in hundreds of thousands of satisfied patients worldwide.

POLYsmoooth™

POLYTECH smooth shell surface

The first silicone breast implants had a smooth shell surface. Smooth surface is still in use today all over the world. The POLYTECH smooth surface is called POLYsmoooth™.

POLYTECH smooth shell surface has an advanced shell construction with a smooth surface. Available in a round shape and 4 projections: Low, Moderate, High and Extra High.
