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.
Claims19
A method for manufacturing a breast prosthesis, comprising the following steps:
- (b) introducing a first dispersion of a first granular material in a cross-linkable silicone compound into a cavity of a casting mold, wherein the first granular material is a porous thermoplastic material;
- (d) curing of the silicone compound to form a prosthesis body;
- and
- (f) heating of the prosthesis body to a shrinking temperature which lies above the melting point of the thermoplastic material.
