TiLOOP® Bra
Benefits
Complete portfolio
The TiLOOP® Bra product family covers all indications for breast surgery with tissue reinforcing material.
- TiLOOP® Bra Pocket: Pre-pectoral reconstruction/augmentation
- TiLOOP® Bra: Sub-pectoral reconstruction/augmentation
Extra light and soft
The TiLOOP® Bra extralight (16 g/m2) introduces the least amount of foreign material into the breast. This light weight material facilitates optimal tissue adaptation, which is of particular importance for the application in the sensitive breast area.
Optimal capsule quality
Compared to simple polypropylene, the hydrophilic and titanised surface carries a reduced risk of inflammation1 and thus a reduced tendency towards the formation of connective tissue-like scars and shrinkage: combined with minimal weight and ides the ideal conditions for a permanent, stable result as well as both desirable tissue ingrowth and a vascularied, flexible, and therefore optimum capsule quality.
Excellent trial-history: proven quality
TiLOOP® Bra has been used in breast surgery since 2008. It has been subjected to numerous trials.
Versatile
TiLOOP® Bra can be used for both primary and secondary breast reconstruction. Further, the use of an expander is also an optional.

Knowledge
One of the determining factors for successful breast surgery in the long term, is the correct decision for or against the use of tissue reinforcing material (synthetic mesh or ADM).
TiLOOP® Bra mesh implants* are made of Type 1a polypropylene mesh (macroporous, light & monofilament) with a titanised, hydrophilic surface. Compared to simple polypropylene, this offers a number of advantages:
- lower risk of inflammation1,2,3
- better cell growth4
- less scarring5
- less shrinkage of the mesh1
- less postoperative pain6
- High patient satisfaction and improved quality of life2,3
Practice
TiLOOP® Bra is intended for extension of the pectoralis major, in case of sub-pectoral, implant-based (permanent implant or expander) breast reconstruction. TiLOOP® Bra covers and fixes the caudal pole of the breast implant. The pectoralis major is protected from cranial movement.
