SILICONE PSEUDOGEL

摘要

A silicon gel-like material having a reduced content of extractable silicone fluid and having rheological properties approximating human tissue. The gel-like material or "pseudogel" is useful for filling an implantable prosthesis. The present filler material or pseudogel is produced by controlling the cross-linking of the silicone polymer network such that every polymer chain contains only terminal vinyl groups but not all of the reactive groups participate in the cross-linking reaction.
