Abstract: A method of texturing a soft prosthetic implant shell, such as a silicone breast implant shell. A soft prosthetic implant with a textured external surface layer of silicone elastomer and having an open-cell structure is made by adhering and then dissolving round salt crystals. The resulting roughened surface has enhanced physical properties relative to surfaces formed with angular salt crystals. An implant having such a textured external surface layer is expected to help prevent capsular contraction, to help prevent scar formation, and to help in anchoring the implant within the body.

Abstract translation: 软质假体植入物外壳的纹理化方法，例如硅树脂乳房植入物壳。 通过粘附然后溶解圆形盐晶体来制造具有有机硅弹性体的织构化外表面层并具有开孔结构的软假体植入物。 所得到的粗糙表面相对于用角盐晶体形成的表面具有增强的物理性能。 期望具有这样有纹理的外表面层的植入物有助于防止荚膜收缩，以帮助防止瘢痕形成，并有助于将植入物锚固在体内。
