Abstract: A process for manufacturing surgical implants is provided with a surgical ating, which neither comes loose upon surgical handling nor causes user discomfort, lesion or infection. The process comprises the steps of disposing a silicone sheet over a foam sheet, and exerting pressure to adhere the same. The assembly thus formed is placed on a mounting base which will receive the implant with another silicone/foam sheet assembly being disposed over the same. The implant is then placed in a mold which will exert a uniform pressure on the implant to adhere the two silicone sheets and foam sheet assemblies to the implant.
