<p>A non-percutaneous prosthesis (2), reconstructive sheeting and composite material which exhibit excellent tissue adhesion, outstanding biocompatibility, moldability, trimability and flexibility are disclosed. The non-percutaneous prosthesis (2), reconstructive sheeting and composite material can be easily molded into various shapes, trimmed with a scalpel and deformed during prosthetic positioning. The non-percutaneous prosthesis comprises a biocompatible composite material (10) which is made of an elastomeric material and bio-active ceramic or glass particles and has a predetermined shape. The bio-active ceramic or glass particles are dispersed throughout a matrix of the elastomeric material having a predetermined shape, or the elastomeric material is formed to the predetermined shape and the bio-active ceramic or glass particles are coated on a surface of the elastomeric material. The elastomeric material is preferably one of silicone, polyurethane and its derivatives, hydrogel and C-FlexR and, more preferably, is silicone or hydrogel. The bio-active ceramic or glass particles are preferably made of hydroxylapatite.</p> |
