Abstract
A prosthetic device, such as a mammary, testicular or chin prosthetic device, which includes a sealable envelope. The envelope is adapted to be filled with a fluid filler and is at least partially filled with a baffle forming material which acts as a baffle slowing the displacement of the fluid filler to achieve the desired tactile and aesthetic properties.
Claims31
A surgically implantable prosthetic device comprising:
- a sealable outer envelope defining an envelope interior and adapted to be filled with a fluid filler to maintain said fluid filler within said sealable outer envelope;
- an inner envelope positioned within said envelope interior of said sealable outer envelope and adapted to be filled with said fluid filler;
- and
- a baffle means for decreasing the displacement rate of said fluid filler positioned within said envelope interior of said outer envelope between said outer and inner envelopes and attached to at least one of said envelopes, said baffle means filling at least a portion of said envelope interior, wherein said baffle means allows for movement of said fluid filler through said baffle means in any direction.
