Mission & Solution
Transforming the future of post-mastectomy reconstruction through innovation, compassion, and engineering designed around real patient needs.
The Problem
After mastectomy and reconstruction, many patients face an unexpected challenge: the nipple is the most difficult part to restore.
Traditional reconstruction techniques — skin flaps, grafts, tattooing, or 3D cosmetic methods — often produce results that lack permanence or realism. Projection commonly fades over time, and current solutions fail to provide the responsiveness or long-term reliability that survivors seek.
Survivors frequently describe the emotional void created by an incomplete reconstruction. Even when the breast mound is restored, the absence of a natural-appearing nipple can feel like the final step of healing is still missing.
- Static and unable to respond naturally
- Limited longevity — projection flattening over time
- Minimal personalization or adjustability
- No functional or dynamic capability
Our Solution: The Electronic Breast Nipple Implant (EBNI)
OctoNerv introduces the first concept for a dynamic, electronically enhanced nipple implant — designed to give survivors a more lifelike, controllable, and stable outcome than any existing method.
The Electronic Breast Nipple Implant (EBNI) incorporates micro-actuators, sensors, wireless charging, and BLE control within a soft, biocompatible silicone implant.
- Long-term projection stability via digitally controlled internal motion
- Dynamic responsiveness configured by a clinician
- Adjustable results without further surgery
- Optional future sensory research capabilities
Our mission is to elevate breast reconstruction beyond aesthetics — offering survivors a solution that restores identity, confidence, and emotional wholeness.
Why It Matters
For millions worldwide, breast cancer survivorship includes navigating deep emotional and physical challenges. The nipple has profound symbolic meaning — representing completeness, identity, and restoration of self.
EBNI represents the first step toward giving survivors an option that is:
- advanced rather than outdated,
- dynamic rather than static,
- personalized rather than generic,
- and engineered for long-term satisfaction.
OctoNerv is committed to defining a new frontier in reconstructive medicine — one where innovation and empathy work hand-in-hand to rebuild confidence, dignity, and a sense of wholeness.
