Abstract

A breast prosthesis which, using a widely known material such as silicon, establishes a trabecular body (1) or one of micro-cells (3), with or without a covering (2), provides a prosthesis eliminating the risks of puncture as well as extravasation of the inner fluid, being possible to obtain a lower density than conventional ones, and therefore a lower weight, also eliminating problems due to sagging.

Claims

1. A breast prosthesis of those which are introduced in the breast of a woman for aesthetic purposes, characterized in that it consists of a body (1), wrapped or not in a silicon covering (2) which is composed of a trabecular or hollow micro-cells (3) structure, forming a solid and at the same time hollow structure whose material is of silicon, the density of the prosthesis being constant.

2. A breast prosthesis of those which are introduced in the breast of a woman for aesthetic purposes, characterized in that it consists of a body (1), wrapped or not in a silicon covering (2) which is composed of a trabecular or hollow micro-cells (3) structure, forming a solid and at the same time hollow structure whose material is of silicon, varying the density of the prosthesis from lesser to greater from the outside towards the nucleus (4), which also implies a higher trabecular density and weight.

3. A breast prosthesis of those which are introduced in the breast of a woman for aesthetic purposes, characterized in that it consists of a body (1), wrapped or not in a silicon covering (2) which is composed of a trabecular or hollow micro-cells (3) structure, forming a solid and at the same time hollow structure whose material is of silicon, and where the inside is a nucleus (5) of gel or saline or any other compound of those currently used, implying a covering of a spongy material based on micro-cells (3) over a conventional solid nucleus (5).
