What is capsule formation? Encapsulation explained

When any form of medical implant is inserted into the body, it's common for a tissue to form around it as a part of the natural healing process. This is the body's way of isolating what it perceives as a foreign object. In the context of the Himplant procedure, this reaction is generally beneficial.

The formation of the capsule provides additional girth, creating a protective layer over the sutures. This serves to enhance the durability of the implant and contributes to a more natural feel upon touch.

This encapsulation process typically unfolds over a period of 4-8 months, although the timeline can vary from person to person.

The use of a compression sleeve, such as the UroWrap, can support this process. Furthermore, the formation of the capsule often enhances the aesthetic result of the procedure. Please remember, individual experiences can differ, so it's essential to discuss any questions or concerns with your healthcare provider.
