What is the medical term meaning elastic material formed into a sac that is then filled with fluid or air?
Tissue-expander.
A tissue-expander is an elastic material formed into a sac that is then filled with fluid or air so it expands like a balloon. The expander is placed under the skin and is filled, stretching the skin.
Expanders are most often used to prepare a site for a permanent implant.
Expanders are also used to assist in the repair of scars and the removal of tattoos by stretching the skin, removing the expander, removing the scar or tattoo, and suturing the skin edges together.
