Product Information

The Art Funnel is a medical device designed for both patients and the medical team for the hygienic, safe, and easy insertion of the prosthesis even with a small incision during breast reconstruction surgery.

Purpose

  • The non-touch technique blocks contact with the surgical site to prevent the potential infection of the skin and the areas around breast tissues, which results in the minimization of the risk of capsular contracture.
  • The reduction of the chance of a revision operation by preventing infection and prosthesis damage.
  • The shortening of the patient’s recovery time after surgery by reducing the incision length.

Advantages

Point 01

The reduction of the patient’s pain and risk of complications

The shortened incision length decreases the pain related to surgery and the risk of complications.

Point 02

Lessening the fatigue of the medical team

The excellent coating layer inside provides an easy and quick prosthesis insertion with minimum force to alleviate the medical team’s degree of fatigue.

Point 03

The maintenance of the prosthesis insertion direction

In contrast to the finger method that requires the adjustment of the position by putting your hand inside after prosthesis insertion, the Art Funnel maintains the original position of the prosthesis before insertion even when placed inside to significantly reduce the risk of contamination and prosthesis damage.

Point 04

Shortened incision length

The Art Funnel provides an easier insertion so that it can shorten the incision length. This alleviates the patient’s burden and results in faster recovery.

Point 05

The minimization of prosthesis damage

The lesser force applied compared to the existing handling method reduces pressure on the prosthesis, which prevents the rupture of the prosthesis that might occur during the insertion process.

Point 06

Lubricative material

Once hydrated, it provides a lower surface friction which provides a resistance-free prosthesis delivery.

How to use

1

Cut the bottom of the Art Funnel to fit the prosthesis size.

2

Hydrate the Art Funnel with the sterilized saline solution.

3

Adjust the direction of insertion and insert the prosthesis to the fore-end of the hydrated Art Funnel.

4

Insert the bottom part of the Art Funnel inside the incision where the prosthesis will be inserted.

5

Support the bottom part of the Art Funnel with one hand, and grab the Art Funnel on the top of the prosthesis with another hand. Apply force and push the funnel forward to insert the prosthesis.

6

Recheck the position after completing a prosthesis insertion.

Preparation before use

  • * Make sure to fully hydrate the Art Funnel to prevent any dryness inside.
  • *For an easier insertion, repeat shooting 2~3 times before insertion to check if the bottom part of the Art Funnel is properly cut to fit the prosthesis size.

Caution

  • * This product is for single use only.
  • * Do not reuse or re-sterilize the product.
