Ideal Implant CEO Featured at IMCAS Innovation Shark Tank 2020


IDEAL IMPLANT Structured Breast Implant Patented Design

After only five years on the consumer market, the IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured Breast Implant is proving to be a disruptive technology, with strong clinical data that better addresses women’s concerns.

Ideal Implant Incorporated Founder and CEO, Robert S Hamas, MD, was invited to present the latest breast implant technology at the IMCAS Innovation Shark Tank 2020 in Paris, France in January. The international conference featured start-ups and new innovations in the dermatology, plastic surgery, and aesthetic science industries that promise to revolutionize medical practices in their fields.

“After only five years on the consumer market, the IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured Breast Implant is proving to be a disruptive technology, with strong clinical data that better addresses women’s concerns,” Dr. Hamas explained to attendees. “It’s patented, unique internal structure offers women the natural feel and look of silicone gel implants, yet a woman can look in the mirror and know her implants are intact, while having the peace of mind of only saline inside. The design has captured the benefits of other types of implants without their drawbacks.”

Recent market studies show that peace of mind is increasingly a factor when women choose a breast implant. As the IDEAL IMPLANT eight-year clinical trial data demonstrated significantly lower rates of complications such as rupture and capsular contracture over silicone gel implants, while allowing for instant rupture detection without the MRIs required with silicone gel implants, women are pressuring surgeons to offer the new technology. As a result, the company is investing in expanded production facilities to meet the overwhelming demand the IDEAL IMPLANT design has seen since becoming available in 2015.

“We received many outstanding applications and had the very difficult mission of selecting the 15 start-ups that would pitch their innovations live to the jury and audience of high profile venture-capitals, industry leaders and KOL physicians,” explained an IMCAS spokesperson. “Among the submissions, Ideal Implant was clearly a very interesting innovation with the potential to disrupt its industry, and we were glad to have them take part in this Innovation Shark Tank.”
