Breast prosthesis

Breast prosthesis formed in part by mold casting a casing from a soft-elastic, porous, adherent, flesh colored silicone rubber cross-linked with a hardener, said casing comprising a center part having the shape of a female breast, and a border part extending around said center part, said center part including a generally cup-shaped wall having a convex shaped side facing outwardly and a concave shaped side facing inwardly, said convex shaped side being shaped in the form of a female breast including an areola and a nipple, said concave shaped side having a shape complementary to a female breast, said center part having an increased thickness section as compared to the remainder of said cup-shaped wall with said section forming the edge of said cup-shaped wall connected to said border part and forming an annular step extending around the inside of said cup-shaped wall and located adjacent said border part, said border part projecting laterally outwardly from said increased thickness section and forming a border surface arranged to fit against the chest of the prosthesis wearer, said step extending from said concave shaped side in the direction toward and being spaced from said border surface and having an edge spaced from said concave shaped side and being closer to said border surface, a grain-like paste mixture filling the interior of said cup-shaped wall approximately to the range of said step, said grain-like paste mixture comprising a mixture of a silicone gel and vulcanized silicone grits, and a flexible cover layer being formed of a tough silicone rubber cross-linked with a hardener extending over and in contact with the surface of said mixture and secured to said increased thickness section extending around the edge of said cup-shaped wall for retaining said mixture within said center part and said cover layer being spaced from said border surface so that said cover layer is spaced from the chest of the prosthesis wearer.
