Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a breast prosthesis, in which a first dispersion of a first granular material is introduced into a cross-linkable silicone compound. The silicone compound subsequently is cured in order to form a prosthesis body, wherein the prosthesis body is heated to a shrinking temperature which lies above the melting point of the thermoplastic material.

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 that is arranged between the inner surfaces of the shell bodies and that is filled with a fluid for volume adaptation, and wherein a medium that reduces the adhesive tendency of the oppositely disposed inner surfaces of the shell bodies is located in the fluid space in addition to the fluid for the volume adaptation.

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 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 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: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a breast prosthesis having a shell-like body that has a film bag having a filling, wherein the method comprises the following steps: welding and/or adhering plastic films while leaving a region free to form a film bag having a filling passage; injecting a flowable filler material through the filling passage into the film bag; and welding and/or adhering the plastic films in the region of the filling passage to close the film bag, wherein a flowable sealing compound is injected that comes to lie between the filling passage and the filler material and forms a stopper after the injection of the filler material and before the closing of the film bag.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a decubitus cushion comprising a core and a jacket, wherein the core comprises viscoelastic material and the jacket comprises a cover layer of material promoting air circulation fixedly or reversibly removable at at least the side facing the skin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a breast prosthesis having at least one contact surface which is intended for contact on a body surface, with the contact surface having at least one means by means of which air circulation and/or an exchange of air can be achieved between the contact surface and the body surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a decubitus cushion comprising a core and a jacket, wherein the core comprises viscoelastic material and the jacket comprises a cover layer of material promoting air circulation fixedly or reversibly removable at at least the side facing the skin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a breast prosthesis having at least one contact surface which is intended for contact on a body surface, with the contact surface having at least one means by means of which air circulation and/or an exchange of air can be achieved between the contact surface and the body surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a garment consisting of or comprising a least one tubular garment part to be stripped over an arm, with at least one curved joint region adapted to the shape of the arm joint, wherein this curved joint region is formed by stitches added on one side.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a removable, external breast prosthesis, comprising a body substantially corresponding to the shape and firmness of the female breast and made from one or more flexible plastic parts, wherein the side of the prosthesis facing the skin has antimicrobial properties due to an antimicrobial coating and/or to antimicrobial material in the matrix.

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: A system is provided for application of a layer permanently adhering to the inside of a breast prosthesis formed as a shell-shaped body made from a soft-elastic material, in which a two-component silicone rubber forming the adhesive layer is injected into a mold prior to curing of the body and then cured together with the body. Alternatively, the two-component silicone rubber forming the adhesive layer is first cured in a shell, with the shell then being applied to the body in a mold and then cured again with the body. In a third alternative, the adhesive layer is cured while being joined to a carrier film, with the carrier film then being adhered to the prosthesis sheath which is then filled with addition-vulcanizing two-component silicone rubber and cured in a mold.

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: Disclosed is a breast prosthesis comprised of at least one layer and formed to imitate the shape of a breast, the at least one layer being welded in a plastic film, comprised of a phase change material having a phase change temperature approximate the user's body temperature.
