Breast implant makers Polytech, G&G ink stock-swap merger pact

Silicone breast-implant makers Polytech Health & Aesthetics and G&G Biotechnology are getting together in a stock-swap merger.

G&G designed the world’s first lightweight breast implant, the B-Lite, to reduce the impact of gravity on the reconstructed or augmented breast using technology developed by NASA to make its implants up to 30% lighter. The company sells its products in more than 30 countries, not including the U.S.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Jacky Govrin and his brother, biomedical engineer Dael Govreen-Segal, founded G&G in Haifa in 2005. Polytech, which makes 2,000 varieties of breast implants, brought the lightweight implant to market in 2013 for use in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. Polytech manufactures B-Lite implants at its facilities in Dieburg, Germany.
