A TISSUE PROSTHESIS AND A METHOD OF, AND EQUIPMENT FOR, FORMING A TISSUE PROSTHESIS

摘要

A tissue prosthesis (100) comprises an envelope (38) of a biologically inert, elastically deformable material capable of being expanded to conform to an interior surface of a cavity (36) formed at a site (10) in a patient's body. A filler material (60) is received in a fluent state in the envelope (38). The filler material (60) is of the same class of material as the envelope (38) to form, when cured, together with the envelope (38), a unified structure.
