Our Clinical Vision
The Electronic Breast Nipple Implant (EBNI) represents a new category of reconstructive innovation: a dynamic, programmable, soft-tissue implant designed to restore projection, movement, and future sensory potential.
A New Approach to Reconstruction
Traditional reconstruction restores the breast mound but not the responsive behavior or dimensional characteristics of the nipple. EBNI is engineered to introduce motion, contour, and technology-driven adaptability into a historically static procedure.
Our clinical aim is simple: improve long-term satisfaction for survivors by restoring both aesthetic and emotional completeness.
Clinical Design Goals
Seamless Surgical Integration
EBNI is designed to fit into existing nipple reconstruction workflows with minimal changes. Surgeons can place the implant under a small flap or reconstructed mound without introducing new external anatomy or access points.
Consistent Long-Term Projection
Loss of projection remains the #1 frustration for many patients. EBNI uses precise micro-actuation to maintain shape stability and overcome long-term flattening.
Data-Driven Clinical Insights
With optional diagnostic reporting, future iterations may help surgeons track device behavior, battery status, and patient-reported outcomes to continually refine reconstruction approaches.
Designed for Collaboration
OctoNerv is actively building partnerships with reconstructive surgeons, breast centers, and medical researchers. EBNI is intended not just as a device, but as a platform for ongoing innovation in reconstructive science.
- Pilot studies with leading breast cancer centers
- Clear safety and ethical frameworks
