Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed to protect a medical device from scarring a body after implanting the device in the body by creating a bonding matrix on a surface of the device; exposing the surface to hyaluronic acid (HA) or polyethylene glycol (PEG); cross linking the HA or PEG; and preventing capsular contracture after implanting the device in the body.
