Abstract
Disclosed are an artificial breast implant in which the surface thereof is formed or modified with a silicone open cell (open pore) foam layer, and a method for producing the same. More specifically, disclosed are an artificial breast implant that has a surface including an open cell foam layer made of silicone and thus minimizes side effects such as in vivo rejection, which may occur after implantation of the implant into the body, in particular, the occurrence of capsular contracture to achieve superior biocompatibility and safety, and a method for producing the same.
