摘要： A container for a tissue implantable solid filler material is disclosed. The filler material can be directly inserted into a cavity within the tissue or into a shell can be inserted into the cavity which either already contains the filler or has the filler added thereto during implantation. Methods for packaging the filler material are also disclosed.

摘要： An implant and coverings for an implant for use in the human body are disclosed. Coverings for implants are constructed to present a biocompatible surface to the body and to provide a textured surface which serves to disorganize scar tissue which forms around the implant. Filaments of expanded PTFEe are attached to a stretch fabric backing in a loose weave configuration. Silicone molded in geometric patterns may be employed to present a textured surface. Compressive structures may be beneficially used on the surface of the implant or in the interior of the implant. Foam is one such compressive structure. Hexagonally shaped compressive cells containing fluid, gas, gel or foam are adapted to receive an insert which contains an outer biocompatible coating. A valve or port is provided to communicate between the cell and the body. Expansion means may be provided to expand the implant in a desired direction.

摘要： A symmetrical, heart-shaped breast prosthesis has two identical notches which are arranged symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry dividing the prosthesis body into two equal halves and at an angle in the range between 30° and 90° between them, in such a way that, when the prosthesis is worn, only one of the two notches is essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the wearer's body. The notches have the effect that the prosthesis collapses slightly when the wearer is in the upright position and becomes flatter when the wearer is in the prostrate position. In the state when worn, the heart-shaped prosthesis which is symmetrical in the unshaped state becomes an asymmetrical prosthesis having a lateral branch and an upper branch which moves downwards when the wearer is in the upright position and slips upwards when the wearer is prostrate.

摘要： A system and method for augmenting a woman's breasts is claimed. The system includes two separate breast prostheses that are used to enhance each single breast. A first breast prosthesis is surgically implanted under the pectoral muscle behind the breast. The first breast prothesis augments the posterior section of the breast nearest the chest. A second breast prosthesis is provided that is surgically implanted between the breast tissue and the pectoral muscle. The second breast prosthesis augments the anterior section of the breast in front of the pectoral muscle. The second breast prosthesis provides the breast with a large size and soft texture, while the first breast prosthesis helps blend the augmented breast into the chest for a more natural appearance.

摘要： A breast implant has at least an outer shell which is composed of a resorbable material. The implant, which can be formed entirely of bioresorbable material, is sized and shaped to replace excised tissue. The implant supports surrounding tissue upon implantation, while allowing for in-growth of fibrous tissue to replace the implant. According to various alternative embodiments, the implant is elastically compressible, or can be formed from self-expanding foam or sponges, and can be implanted through a cannula or by injection, as well as by open procedures. The implant also is capable of carrying therapeutic and diagnostic substances.

摘要： An improved breast implant prosthesis provides fastening components to anchor the implant to retroglandular or retromuscular tissue and secure the implant in place. Location markers are also provided to ensure correct orientation of the prosthesis during the augmentation mammaplasty procedure and provide postoperative orientation information without the use of invasive procedures.

The implant, which can be formed entirely of bioresorbable material such as a collagen foam, is sized and shaped to replace excised tissue. The implant supports surrounding tissue upon implantation, while allowing for in-growth of fibrous tissue to replace the implant. According to various alternative embodiments, the implant is elastically compressible, or can be formed from self-expanding foam or sponges, and can be implanted through a cannula or by injection, as well as by open procedures.

摘要： A biocompatable nonbiodegradable breast prosthesis comprises a generally conical shell filled with a resilient mass comprised of a multiplicity of layers of resiliently compressible fabric. The shell fabric provides a pore size in the range of from about 2 to 15 microns, 5 microns being preferred. The filler fabric layers define a void content from 70 to 90% or more and are resilient when subjected to compressive forces in both wet and dry conditions. The layers preferably are a honeycomb weave and are formed of monofilament yarns.
