An implant for filling a cavity created by an excisional procedure includes first and second portions. The first portion may include a first collagenous matrix that defines a first selected crosslinking density and the second portion may include a second collagenous matrix that defines a second selected cross-linking density that is different than the first cross-linking density. The first and second cross-linking densities may be selected so as to cause the first and second portions to swell in such a manner that the implant swells into a size and a shape that is similar to the predetermined size and shape of the cavity when the implant is implanted. An aqueous solution may be added to the cavity if the cavity is not sufficiently aqueous to cause the implant to swell.

Post-biopsy cavity treatment implants and methods

A post-biopsy cavity treatment implant includes a radiopaque element, a core portion and a shell portion. The core portion is coupled to the radiopaque element, and includes a first porous matrix defining a first controlled pore architecture. The shell portion is coupled to the core portion and includes a second porous matrix defining a second controlled pore architecture that is different from the first controlled pore architecture.

Post biopsy cavity treatment implants and methods

A method of treating a cavity created by a percutaneous excisional procedure carried out through an incision includes steps of providing a post-procedure cavity implant, the post-procedure cavity implant including: a radiopaque element; a core portion coupled to the radiopaque element, the core portion including a first porous matrix defining a first controlled pore architecture, and a shell portion coupled to the core portion, the shell portion including a second porous matrix defining a second controlled pore architecture that is different from the first controlled pore architecture; implanting the post-procedure cavity implant into the cavity, and closing the incision.
