Title:
SILICON IMPLANT WITH EXPANDABLE AND/OR INTERACTIVE COMPARTMENTS, OPTIONALLY COATED WITH A RICINUS COMMUNIS AND/OR HYDROXYLAPATITE POLYURETHANE FOAM, WITH ATTACHMENT FLAPS OR STRINGS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/069019
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to an implant for augmenting or reconstructing breasts, buttocks, thighs and calves, having independent expandable and interactive compartments that can be filled during manufacture or during or after surgery, with an external silicone membrane (1) internally and/or externally coated with a Ricinus communis polyurethane foam (14) covered with hydroxylapatite microcrystals (13) or nanocrystals (13) incorporated into the same membrane, with an inner space divided into compartments (3) that are or can be filled with three-dimensional geometric structures (2) immersed in cohesive silicone (3) or another gel, liquid, air or gas, with a chamber for the projection of the body (4) or of the lower pole of the breast, having a conical structure within the main chamber in order to project the latter. The inner and outer chambers are independently filled and have different volumes, and since they are interactive, they allow any necessary adjustments of the implant through filling valves (8), in order to project the region (6) of the areola and nipple, the body or other region of the breast, correcting ptosis, assymetry, congenital thoracic hypertrophy in the mammal or other region. Flaps (10) or strings (11) for immediate attachment ensure safe and early mobility, faster return to normal activity, and a secure final placement of the implant; they avoid displacement of the implant and can be previously removed by the surgeon.
