GC Aesthetics, Inc. (GCA), a privately held medical technology company providing healthcare aesthetic solutions, has launched FixNipโ„ข NRI, a nipple areola complex (NAC) reconstruction implant, in certain European markets. The company will launch the product in Latin America and Asia later this year.

โ€œWe are committed to deliver safe options that establish a newer, higher, and more beneficial standard of care for women who seek to total breast reconstruction,โ€ says Carlos Reis Pinto, CEO of GC Aesthetics. โ€œSuch technology breakthrough will complete our range of solutions dedicated to women aesthetic healthcare. FixNip by GC Aesthetics is a healthcare game-changer.โ€

A plastic surgeon implants the GC Aesthetics FixNip NRI via a minimally invasive procedure that takes 15 minutes, on average. GC Aesthetics officials say the results have been positive, demonstrating high patient satisfaction with a minimum patient. The safety profile has also been excellent, they say. 

โ€œThe NAC reconstruction procedure should be considered an integral part of the breast reconstructive surgery,โ€ says French plastic surgeon Michael Atlan, MD, PhD. It gives women an important psychological contribution and leads a greater well-being, overall sense of self and high satisfaction after being reconstructed. As a leader of the GCA multi-centric safety and efficacy trial, I am highly satisfied with the results.โ€
