FixNip™ NRI: The implant that restores a natural appearance after breast cancer.


The reconstruction of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) has long been considered one of the most difficult challenges in breast reconstruction surgery. With the traditional techniques, many patients experience a lack of long-term stability. The lack of projection and the visible scarring have left patients with a frustrated feeling. This has created a significant unmet need in post-mastectomy care.

 

Introducing FixNip™ NRI, A one-of-a-kind nipple implant for women who have undergone breast reconstruction


FixNip™ NRI is the first implant designed exclusively for nipple-areola reconstruction. Unlike previous methods, FixNip™ NRI provides a minimally invasive solution that delivers durable results in both shape and projection. The silicone implant with its nitinol frame is placed subcutaneously and can be done as an office-based procedure, reducing surgery time considerably.

FixNip™ NRI represents an innovation for both patients and surgeons. 

 

Scientific Validation


A recent clinical study led by Dr. Riccio and colleagues demonstrated the safety and efficacy of FixNip™ NRI in restoring a natural look and feel to the nipple-areola complex

This research highlighted:

  • Sustained projection over time, which was one of the main limitations of the traditional techniques.

  • Minimally invasive approach, with a reduced risk of complications and a faster recovery.

  • High levels of patient satisfaction, boosting their quality of life and their self-esteem. 

These findings mark FixNip™ NRI as a significant step forward for breast reconstruction for women.
