Abstract
Graft materials and devices for surgical breast procedures may include a sheet of biocompatible material and a plurality of fenestrations distributed across a portion of the sheet of biocompatible material. The sheet of biocompatible material can have a first axis and a second axis coincident with the sheet of biocompatible material. The sheet of biocompatible material can also have a first edge that intersects the second axis and a second edge that intersects the second axis. The first axis can be orthogonal to the second axis. The plurality of fenestrations can be distributed across a portion of the sheet of biocompatible material closer to the first edge than the second edge. Other apparatuses and methods are disclosed.
