Claims15
A method of producing a breast prosthesis (1) having an adjustable volume by a user, wherein the breast prosthesis (1) has a first shell body (10), a second shell body (20) peripherally connected thereto, and a fluid space (30) arranged between said shell bodies (10, 20) and fillable by the user to a desired volume, the method comprising the following steps:
- (a) peripherally connecting four plastic films to provide a template comprising three chambers;
- (b) filling upper and lower chambers with a crosslinkable silicone compound;
- and
- (c) crosslinking the silicone compound, and
- (d) inserting a valve tube (40) between two middle films to form radial access to the fluid space (30) and attaching the valve tube (40) to the prosthesis (1) as part of the peripheral connection of the four plastic films in accordance with step (a).
