The multi-centre, nationwide, randomised and controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Melodi Matrix, which is designed to support soft tissue and provide a controlled release of antibiotic agents as it is absorbed by the body.

This implantable medical device is based on technology licensed by Melodi Health from Medtronic.

Melodi Health co-founder and CEO Sarah Worrell said: “We are thrilled to achieve these important financial and clinical milestones, namely the first implant of a device being evaluated for safety and efficacy that is designed to provide soft-tissue support and reduce post-surgical infections associated with breast cancer surgery.

“This device is unlike anything surgeons currently have in their toolbox to mitigate a situation that occurs in as many as 14% of women undergoing mastectomy followed by reconstruction.”

The ARIA clinical trial is expected to support Melodi Health’s efforts to seek approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for the Melodi Matrix in breast reconstruction.

Melodi Health chief medical officer Hunter Moyer said: “Reconstructive surgeons have been looking for the next generation of soft tissue support, and we now have that with the investigational Melodi Matrix, which is designed to give both soft tissue support and infection reduction.”
