BREAST IMPLANT PROSTHESIS

摘要

A biocompatible nonbiodegrad-able breast prosthesis comprises a generally con-ical shell filled with a resilient mass comprised of a multiplicity of layers (14) of resiliently com-pressible fabric. The shell fabric provides a pore size in the range of from about 2 to 15 microns, 5 microns preferred. The filler fabric layers define a void content from 70 to 90 % or more and are resilient when subjected to compressive forces in both wet and dry conditions. The layers prefer-ably are a honeycomb weave and are formed of monofilament yarns.
