Abstract
Provided are methods for making textured implantable materials made from two part RTV silicone foams and having a desired color or tone without the need for dyes or colorants.
Claims13
A method of making a material having a preselected color and suitable for implantation in a mammal, the method comprising:
- providing a silicone base component;
- providing a catalyst for the base component;
- mixing the base component with the catalyst at about 200 rpm for about 30 seconds to achieve a foam solution;
- and
- allowing the foam solution to polymerize to achieve a polymerized silicone material having a brown tone with RGB color code values R=about 135 to about 165, G=about 68 to about 82, and B=0 to about 10.

- providing a silicone base component;
- providing a catalyst for the base component;
- mixing the base component with the catalyst at about 100 rpm for about 60 seconds to achieve a foam solution;
- and
- allowing the foam solution to polymerize to achieve a polymerized silicone material having a buff brown tone having RGB color code values R=about 216 to about 264, G=about 198 to about 242, and B=180 to about 220.
