May 6, 2021 – Sientra, Inc. (Santa Barbara, CA) announced its AlloX2 tissue expander was awarded an Innovative Technology contract from Vizient, Inc. (Irving, TX), effective May 1.
Sientra’s AlloX2’s one-of-a-kind, dual-port design allows for less invasive, non-surgical draining of serous fluids. The AlloX2 is the only tissue expander on the market with an integral drain providing direct access to the periprosthetic space where fluid can accumulate.
This allows for diagnostic fluid sampling to enable a faster treatment response. The AlloX2 was innovatively designed to mitigate risks associated with breast expansion and ultimately reduce reoperation rates.
With this contract award, Sientra’s AlloX2 is now on contract with all major GPOs in the nation and available to all reconstruction hospitals in the U.S., the company says.
