摘要 |
A surgical mammary prosthesis (10) containing a liquid-gel (16) of crosslinked hyaluronic acid (hylan) inside a medical grade elastomer (12), and a method of making a prosthesis containing such a liquid-gel (16). Because the gel (16) used in the invention contains a nontoxic, nonantigenic, noninflammatory, biodegradable natural substance, problems attributed to or associated with previous silicone gel filled prosthesis as results of prosthesis rupture or leakage or "bleed" are avoided. |
