Exclusion Criteria

Patients may not participate in the clinical investigation if they meet ANY of the following criteria:
1. Patients who have undergone Radical Mastectomy or radical removal of chest wall soft tissue.
2. Patients who have had breast or chest wall irradiation.
3. Prior history of infection in the breast region in the preceding 12 months.
4. Patients diagnosed with or having a prior history of Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL).
5. The patient has any condition or disease, including uncontrolled diabetes (e.g., HbA1c > 8%), that is clinically known to impact wound healing ability.
6. Patient with a known history of immunodeficiency including HIV, concomitant systemic corticosteroid therapy, chemotherapy, synchronous haematological malignancy or other cause for secondary/primary immunodeficiency.
7. Known severe concurrent or inter-current illness including cardiovascular, respiratory or immunological illness, psychiatric disorders, alcohol or chemical dependence, possible allergies that would, in the opinion of the Co-ordinating Principal Investigator, compromise their safety or compliance or interfere with interpretation of study results.
8. Body mass Index (BMI) below 20 and above 30 (patients with a BMI above 30 may still be eligible pending assessment by investigating team and documentation of rationale).
9. Polycaprolactone (PCL) allergy
10. Women who are currently pregnant or breast feeding, or who are planning to become pregnant within two years after the breast surgery.
11. Patient ineligible to undergo MRI.
12. Patient unable or unwilling to comply with the treatment protocol.
13. Patient unwilling or unable to provide fully informed consent including but not limited to patients with intellectual or mental impairment.
14. Patients with a history of smoking (patients with a history of smoking may still be eligible pending assessment by investigating team and documentation of rationale)

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Feasibility assessed through post-operative device safety measured through the adverse device effect rate (ADE rate). Adverse events are defined as per EN ISO 14155:2020. This will be regularly monitored during inpatient and outpatient follow up.[ Assessed daily during inpatient stay, at 1-week, 2- (primary timepoint), 6-, 12- and 24-months post-surgery.];Feasibility assessed through post-operative device safety measured through the adverse device effect rate (ADE rate).
