  • Inflatable prostheses and methods of making same
    Patent number: 10765506
    Abstract: A laminate useful as a component of a medical implant, for example, useful as a component of an inflatable tissue expander. The laminate includes a base layer, an intermediate layer, and a top layer. When used as a component of a tissue expander, the laminate enables an internal chamber pressure of about 2.5 psi with an expander exterior compressive force of about 40 lbs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 16, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 8, 2020
    Assignee: Allergan, Inc.

  • INFLATABLE PROSTHESES AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME
    Publication number: 20200268504
    Abstract: A prosthesis can include a shell and a needle guard coupled to a posterior portion of the shell. The shell can include a laminate having a base layer, a top layer, and a soft silicone gel intermediate layer disposed between the base layer and the top layer and of sufficient thickness for self-sealing of a needle hole therethrough. The needle guard can include a plurality of offset layers of offset, puncture-resistance structures that, in an expanded state, (i) collectively form a concave shape and (ii) provide a concave exterior surface along the posterior portion of the prosthesis for approximating a human anatomical feature. The needle guard can have a shape memory characteristic for urging the prosthesis toward the expanded state.
