  • Prosthesis formed by inner and outer inflatable containers
    Patent number: 4433440
    Abstract: A breast prosthesis comprising inner and outer flexible containers, each having a self-sealing valve associated therewith. The valves are arranged in such a fashion that each container can be separately filled with fluid. The prosthesis is implanted in a deflated state and each container is filled in turn before closing the incision.

  • Saline fill of silicone prosthesis during mammaplasty augmentation
    Patent number: 4143428
    Abstract: An assembly for sterile fluid filling of a silicone prosthesis with saline or other fluids from a sterile container having a neck portion screw-threaded in the first sense includes a syringe, a generally tubular connector and a releasable connection between the tubular connector and the syringe. The syringe has a liquid ingress/egress opening at a first end thereof, and the tubular connector completely surrounds this opening and connects the syringe to the container for sterile filling of the syringe with saline from the container. The releasable connection between the tubular connector and the syringe functions so that once the syringe is filled with liquid from the container, the syringe may be detached from the tubular connector while the tubular connector remains in screw-threaded engagement with the container neck.
