FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: surgically implantable breast prosthesis comprising an outer liner, an inner liner and one or more unclosed adjacent liners. The outer liner has an outer surface, an inner surface and surrounds a clearance, which can comprise a first fluid. The inner liner has an outer surface, an inner surface and surrounds a clearance, which can comprise a second fluid. The unclosed adjacent liners are provided between the outer surface of the inner liner and the inner surface of the outer liner so that all the surfaces of the unclosed adjacent liners are connected to the first fluid. The above unclosed adjacent liners form pairs of interacting liner surfaces. The device also comprises a liner surface in at least one pair of the interacting liner surfaces, textured to decrease a coefficient of friction of the interacting liner surfaces with no chemical modification or coatings.
EFFECT: invention provides a tactile sensation close to that of human breast tissue.
