Patent number: 11452593Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a breast prosthesis, comprising: providing and superimposing inner and outer plastic foils; welding together the plastic foils to form the circumferential welding seam, thereby leaving a gap to form a filling channel connecting the inner space to an outside; filling the inner space with a fluid curable mass, which is a precursor of the filler material, by injecting the fluid curable mass into the inner space through the filling channel; and curing the fluid curable mass inside the inner space to form the filler material; wherein the filling channel is provided with a check valve to prevent fluid curable mass from entering the filling channel after injection. The invention additionally proposes a breast prosthesis made by such method.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2020Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Amoena Medizin-Orthopädie-Technik GmbHInventor: Helmut Wild

Patent number: 7060147Abstract: A system is provided for application of a layer permanently adhering to the inside of a breast prosthesis formed as a shell-shaped body made from a soft-elastic material, in which a two-component silicone rubber forming the adhesive layer is injected into a mold prior to curing of the body and then cured together with the body. Alternatively, the two-component silicone rubber forming the adhesive layer is first cured in a shell, with the shell then being applied to the body in a mold and then cured again with the body. In a third alternative, the adhesive layer is cured while being joined to a carrier film, with the carrier film then being adhered to the prosthesis sheath which is then filled with addition-vulcanizing two-component silicone rubber and cured in a mold.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2002Date of Patent: June 13, 2006Assignee: Amoena Medizin-Orthopadie-Technik GmbH & Co.Inventors: Paul Reitmaier, Ulrike Esterer, Nils Stelter, Georg Stuffer, Hans Stuffer

Patent number: 6296800Abstract: For the manufacture of breast prostheses consisting of a shell-shaped body made from an addition-vulcanising two-components silicone rubber mass, which body is contained in plastic films enveloping it, a filler of low density consisting of hollow spheres or microspheres is added to the two-component silicone rubber mass, said mixture is poured into a sheath of plastic films and cured in a mould under the effect of heat. To achieve the best possible processing capability of the mixture of the two-component silicone rubber mass with the hollow spheres or microspheres, the hollow spheres or microspheres are plastically deformed before they are mixed with the two components of the silicone rubber mass.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2000Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: Amoena Medizin-Orthopädie-Technik GmbH & Co.Inventors: Nils Stelter, Hans Stuffer

Patent number: 5738812Abstract: For the manufacture of breast prostheses from a shell-shaped body made from an addition-vulcanising two-component silicone rubber mass, which body is enclosed in a plastic sheet sheathing said body, a filler of fairly low density composed of hollow spheres or microspheres is added to the two-component silicone rubber mass. The mixture is filled into a sheath of plastic sheet and is cured in a mould under the effect of heat. To obtain the most uniform distribution possible of the filler in the prosthetic body, the mould filled and degassed in the customary way is turned continuously through one or two axes before and during the curing of the two-component silicone rubber mass until the silicone rubber is vulcanised to such an extent that any rising of the filler materials is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1997Date of Patent: April 14, 1998Assignee: Amoena Medizin-Orthopadie-Technik GmbHInventor: Helmut Wild
