METHOD OF FORMING TEXTURE ON OUTER SURFACE OF SHELL OF SILICONE BREAST IMPLANT Russian patent published in 2025 - IPC A61F2/12 A61L27/14 A61L27/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to plastic surgery. Disclosed is a method of forming a texture on the outer surface of the shell of a silicone breast implant, which consists in performing the following steps: plurality of layers of liquid silicone elastomer with intermediate thermosetting are successively applied on injection mould, injection mould with cured penultimate layer of silicone elastomer is dipped into dispersion of silicone elastomer and dried in air at temperature of 21-25 °C for 40 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, then solid sodium chloride particles are applied on the dried last layer of the silicone elastomer with a pneumatic gun and dried in air at temperature of 21-25 °C for at least 4 hours, then the shell, without removing from the mould, is thermoset in the furnace at temperature of 200 °C for a time that provides complete conversion of silicone elastomer in all layers, further, the shell is washed in water without removing it from the mould until complete dissolution of sodium chloride particles.

EFFECT: invention provides higher repeatability of texture from article to article, simplified process of making texture on shell of silicone breast implant, as well as avoiding formation of "crumbs" of shell material during operation.
