Abstract: When manufacturing a foil-wrapped breast prosthesis with a filling consisting of a curable compound, the curing is performed after placing a filled prosthesis bag formed by two joined foil sheets in a mould cavity without closing the mould cavity and maintaining vacuum at least in the beginning of the curing, whereby especially an increased degree of freedom is obtained with respect to shaping the rear side of the prosthesis, so that this, among other things, can be provided with thin edge parts for obtaining good fitting to the body. To ease the mounting of the bag and the accurate positioning of this in the mould cavity, the latter is formed in a first mould part of a shaping tool, which furthermore comprises a tightening frame having a packing, which provides an unambiguously oriented tightening of the bag when this is placed in the mould cavity.
