Prosthetic implants having shells with flexible needle stop patches made of two or more layers of textile material

A prosthetic implant comprising:

• a silicone shell having an anterior wall and a posterior wall;
• a needle stop patch secured over an inner surface of said posterior wall of said silicone shell;
• said needle stop patch including a plurality of layers of a textile material that are stacked atop one another;
• and
• a bonding material for joining together said plurality of layers of said textile material that are stacked atop of another,
• wherein each of said two or more layers of said textile material has a circular or oval shape, and
• wherein said bonding material has a ring shape that matches the circular or oval shape of each of said two or more layers of said textile material.

A method of making a multi-layer needle stop patch for a silicone shell comprising:

• obtaining a first layer of a textile material, wherein said first layer has an outer edge that defines a first area for said first layer;
• centering a second layer of a textile material over said first layer, wherein said second layer is centered over said first layer and has an outer edge that defines a second area for said second layer that is less than the first area for said first layer;
• centering a third layer of a textile material over said second layer, wherein said third layer is centered over said second layer and has an outer edge that defines a third area for said third layer that is less than the second area for said second layer;
• centering a fourth layer of a textile material over said third layer, wherein said fourth layer is centered over said third layer and has an outer edge that defines a fourth area for said fourth layer that is less than the third area for said third layer;
• and
• bonding said respective outer edges of said first, second, third and fourth layers together.
