About iNPLANT LLC and Proximate Concepts LLC

iNPLANT LLC and Proximate Concepts design and develop surgical devices with a particular focus on the plastic surgery arena. Their flagship product, the iNPLANT funnel, is a disposable protective sleeve that permits the rapid and “no-touch” delivery of breast implants in patients undergoing cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery, that contributes to lower complication rates. The interior surface of the device is coated with a lubricious substance which, when activated, dramatically reduces friction on delivery of the implant, avoids contact of the implant with the patient’s skin surface, and minimizes contact between the implant and any bioactive substances on or around the operative site. iNPLANT LLC holds numerous US and international patents on several other devices in various stages of development. The launch of their novel suction drain system, FlatVac, is expected in Q3 of 2021. As with the iNPLANT funnel, FlatVac will also be manufactured under contract with Proximate Concepts LLC.
