Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Each participant will receive two (diameter - 4.4 mm, thickness ~1 to 2 mm) Test Article implants, placed at the mid-to-deep dermal layer and/or superficial fat junction of their skin. The implant sites will be selected by the investigator within the anatomic region of the torso (superior pelvic rim to the apex of the shoulders) of each participant. The skin implant material will be placed by making a small single incision, up to 1.5 cm in length to the level of the mid-to-deep dermis or superficial fat junction, as appropriate. The implant will then be placed into the incision pocket and sutured closed. The implants will remain in place for 90 days with follow up visits at days 7, 14, 30, 60 for evaluation and grading of site per protocol. At day 90 the implants will be excised. All specimens will be submitted for histologic examination. A final visit will occur 30 days post excision for evaluation of the test sites.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 2584 0
Safety Endpoints:
The number and percentage of participants who develop a positive response to the implant(s).
Timepoint [1] 2584 0
Participants are intructed to observe the test sites daily for any positive response as per protocol. Participants return for evaluation and grading of the sites on days 7, 14, 30 & 60 and then on day 90 following grading of the implant site, for excision of the implants. A final follow up visit occurs on day 120 for post excision evaluation of the implant sites.
Primary outcome [2] 2585 0
Safety Endpoints: Histologic findings and adverse events will be summarized.
