Abstract: A breast prosthesis consists of a center part in the shape of a female breast and a border or edge part encircling the center part. The center part has a relatively thin wall in the shape of the surface of the female breast. The wall forms a cup-shaped recess containing a mixture of a silicone gel and silicone grits. The cup-shaped recess containing the mixture is closed by a thin tough cover layer forming a part of the rear surface of the prosthesis.

Abstract: A breast prosthesis for use as a replacement in the case of a mastectomy where the chest of the wearer presents problems in providing a satisfactory support surface for a standardized prosthesis. The prosthesis includes an internal filler part which seats in the cavity so that the prosthesis assumes its normal position.

Abstract: A breast prosthesis is formed in a mold cavity from a soft silicone rubber cross-linked with hardeners. The prosthesis has a convex outwardly facing surface and a concave cup-shaped inwardly facing surface. The outer surface has a nipple and an areola with a passage formed through the nipple between the inwardly facing and outwardly facing surfaces. The prosthesis can be sized to fit into standard brassieres with its edge located inwardly of the adjacent edge of the brassiere. Extending laterally from one side of the prosthesis is a unitary flap for covering the axillary lymph-gland area. Additional flaps may be molded and glued to the base portion of the prosthesis to cover scar areas not covered by the base part.
