MAMMARY GLAND EXOPROSTHESIS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61F2/52 

FIELD: medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device has filler enclosed into film envelope. The film envelope has working external surface and internal surface adjacent to body. The device completely or partially repeats left or right mammary gland shape and has symmetric or asymmetric shape. The working external surface has irregularities for making similarity to skin. Film envelope thickness including working external surface is not less than 1.2 times as large as the film envelope thickness with internal surface adjacent to body being added. Tint silicon gel layer is available in the film envelope on the side adjacent to filler material. The filler material has cavities for reducing weight and/or three-dimensional members for reducing weight.

EFFECT: improved apparent resemblance to substituted organ.
