Abstract: A composite cushion includes a first cushioning element and a second cushioning element. The second cushioning element is formed in a manner that engages a peripheral engagement are of the first cushioning element to interlock the second cushioning element onto the first cushioning element. The second cushioning element may surround an outer periphery of the first cushioning element. In addition, a portion of the second cushioning element may be superimposed over a central cushioning area of the first cushioning element. Any superimposed central portions of the first and second cushioning elements may have an unsecured relationship (i.e., they are not directly secured to each other).

Abstract: A healable gel putty may comprise an elastomeric polymer and a plasticizer. The elastomeric polymer may have a melt mass-flow rate in a range extending from about 2 g/10 min to about 100 g/10 min. A weight ratio of the plasticizer to the elastomeric polymer may be from about 1-to-1 to about 50-to-1. An article of manufacture may comprise gel putty disposed in a flexible container. A method of forming gel putty may comprise forming a mixture comprising an elastomeric polymer and a plasticizer. An article of manufacture may be formed by disposing gel putty within a flexible container.

Abstract: An ultralight flowable material comprises a plurality of macrospheres having an average diameter of about 150 microns or above, and a lubricant. An amount of the lubricant in the ultralight flowable material is sufficient to substantially coat the exterior surfaces of essentially all macrospheres, but less than an amount to cause dispersion of the macrospheres in the lubricant. An article of manufacture includes a flexible container and an ultralight flowable material contained within the flexible container. The ultralight flowable material may comprise a plurality of spherical objects and a tacky lubricant in an amount to substantially coat the exterior surfaces of essentially all spherical objects but less than an amount to cause dispersion of the spherical objects in the tacky lubricant. The spherical objects comprise macrospheres, microspheres, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Cushions include a plurality of core structures and a support material at least partially surrounding each core structure of the plurality of core structures. The core structures and support material comprise different deformable polymer materials. Each of the core structures may be configured as a column having a column axis. Methods of forming cushions include forming a plurality of core structures, and at least partially surrounding each core structure of the plurality of core structures with a support material comprising a second, different deformable polymer material. The core structures may be configured such that each core structure is integrally interconnected along a length thereof to no more than two other core structures of the plurality of core structures.

Abstract: An insert configured to modify an appearance of a breast comprises a flexible bladder comprising a gelatinous elastomer and a flowable material disposed within the flexible bladder. A bra may comprise at least one insert and a shell configured to cover the breast and the at least one insert. An underwire comprises an elongated body comprising an elastomeric material having a Shore A durometer hardness of about 1 or greater. A shell may be connected to the underwire and configured to cover a breast. A method of forming a bra comprises forming an underwire and securing the underwire to a shell. Another method of forming a bra comprises forming a flexible bladder comprising a gelatinous elastomer, disposing a flowable material within the flexible bladder to form an insert, and securing the insert to a shell.
