Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a breast prosthesis (1) having an adjustable volume, wherein the breast prosthesis comprises a first shell body (10), a second shell body (20) which is circumferentially connected thereto, and a fluid chamber (30) arranged between the shell bodies, wherein the method comprises the following steps: (a) peripherally connecting four plastic films to provide a template comprising three chambers; (b) filling the upper and lower chambers with a crosslinkable silicone filler; and (c) crosslinking the silicone filler.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The invention relates to a breast prosthesis having an adaptable volume, wherein the breast prosthesis has a first shell body, a second shell body peripherally connected thereto, and a fluid space arranged between the shell bodies, and wherein in accordance with the invention the breast prosthesis further comprises a valve tube that is composed of a flexible material and that reaches from the outside into the fluid space in the connection region between the shell bodies and projects beyond the connection region in the fluid space.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for volume adaptation of a breast prosthesis, wherein the breast prosthesis comprises a first shell body, a second shell body connected circumferentially thereto, and a fluid chamber arranged between the shell bodies. The fluid chamber is accessible from the outside by way of a passage provided having a valve, wherein the method comprises (a) inserting the breast prosthesis into a brassiere worn by a patient, and (b) filling the fluid space with a fluid or removing a fluid from the fluid space while the breast prosthesis is inserted into the brassiere worn by the patient.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a breast prosthesis having an elastically deformable outer body whose outer surface is patterned on a shape of a breast and having a plastically deformable inner body whose inner surface can adapt to irregularities of tissue of a wearer. In an example of the breast prosthesis, the inner surface of the inner body has a three-dimensional structure and/or is provided with a textile that is respectively configured such that a ventilation of the tissue surface can be achieved, and an intermediate body having an intermediate chamber is arranged between the outer body and the inner body and is configured such that a volume of the intermediate chamber can be adapted by filling with a fluid.

Abstract: A breast prosthesis is provided having a support shell which is accommodated in a fabric cover, wherein one or more filling chambers for accommodating a filler material is/are located at the rear side of the breast prosthesis, wherein the breast prosthesis has a silicone shell which is arranged in front of the support shell and which is accommodated in the fabric cover in removable manner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a breast prosthesis having a support shell which is accommodated in a fabric cover, wherein one or more filling chambers for accommodating a filler material is/are located at the rear side of the breast prosthesis, wherein the breast prosthesis has a silicone shell which is arranged in front of the support shell and which is accommodated in the fabric cover in removal form.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a breast prosthesis, wherein a film pouch of at least three film layers is welded for the production of at least two chambers. First, the film pouch is inserted into a prosthetic mold and the outwardly disposed chamber is filled with a mass; the mold is closed with a rear mold part having a specially defined contour and the transparent mass is cross-linked so much that it remains stable in shape in the further production steps. Subsequently, the inner chamber is filled with a second, largely light impermeable mass comprising light fillers and a mold half comprising a shallow cavity is inserted to completely cross-link the masses located in the chamber at a raised temperature.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a breast prosthesis comprising bodies which copy the shape of the breast, and which are preferably made from an addition-crosslinking two component silicone rubber mass and which are sealed in plastic films. According the present disclosure, there is a three-dimensional textile (3D textile) between the breast prosthesis and the surface on which it rests.

Abstract: The invention relates to a breast prosthesis substantially consisting of bodies welded in plastic films and modeled on the shape of the breast, preferably of an addition cross-linked two-component silicone rubber mass, on whose rear side, in accordance with the invention, a separate and exchangeably insert can be put in or on.

Abstract: The present application relates to a breast prosthesis having bodies welded in plastic films and modeled on the shape of the human breast, the prosthesis being made at least partially of a silicone rubber mass or of another soft-elastic material. In accordance with one embodiment, at least some of the plastic films comprise gas-tight material(s).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a breast prosthesis comprising two shell-like bodies (2, 3) each welded in between synthetic resin films and consisting of silicone compositions of different softness, wherein the outer body (2) designed according to the form of a breast has a hardness which is adapted to the soft-elastic resiliency of the natural breast tissue, and the inner body (3) has a softer gel-like consistency, wherein the prosthesis is provided with an adhesive layer (4) manufactured to be permanently tacky in its marginal zone on its rear side, a first section (4a) of the adhesive layer (4) being arranged on the outer prosthesis body (2) and a second section (4b) of the adhesive layer (4) being arranged on the inner body (3).

Abstract: 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.
