FaciliFlow: A lymphatic restoration device
FaciliFlow is a novel silicone-based medical device aiming to prevent breast cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL). Its simplicity makes it the first ever BCRL preventative approach accessible to all patients.
Accessibility is designed into FaciliFlow through
Low cost compared to existing BCRL strategies
Implantation within the skillset of every surgeon
The problem
Lymph node removal surgery severs lymphatic vessels. This can lead to permanent tissue damage resulting in impaired fluid drainage into and out of the arm.
Symptoms include a heavy, swollen, often painful arm and a constant reminder that the patient had breast cancer.
FaciliFlow’s mode of action restores lymphatic function
Our Solution
FaciliFlow’s patented biomimicry design leverages biofluid mechanics to reconnect lymphatic vessels. Implantation requires a couple of simple sutures within minutes.
FaciliFlow maintains fluid flow and directs lymphatic vessel regrowth.
