Implantable prosthesis, in particular a mammary prosthesis and method for the manufacture thereof

Abstract

Abstract 1. Method for the manufacture of a prosthesis for insertion into living tissues, this prosthesis being such as to limit the fibre-forming reactions in the tissues and to overcome the retractability of the fibrous shells that may be formed, said method consisting in producing an envelope from a hydrophobic polymer, particularly silicone, characterised in that, prior to filling the envelope, at least one of the faces of the envelope is subjected to a surface treatment, suitable for making said face or faces hydrophilic, and said envelope is filled with a hydrophobic polymeric gel or oil, particularly of the same type as the envelope.
