SILIMED, PIONEERS IN QUALITY AND SAFETY SINCE 1978.
Silimed is one of the largest silicone breast implant manufacturers in the world, proudly operating in over 40 countries. Today Silimed are recognised globally for bringing innovation to surgeons and and well-being to patients.
Over the course of more than 45 years, Silimed has worked closely with the scientific and medical community in terms of research, scientific studies and in developing new technologies. This has made it possible to ensure the quality of its implants, adapting them to the particular needs of each patient, and becoming established as a pioneer in numerous advances in terms of quality and safety in the field of surgery.
Thus, Silimed was the first company in the world to identify each implant with a serial number, ensuring its traceability and offering increased safety for surgeons and patients.
Silimed is also the most experienced company in the world when it comes to manufacturing polyurethane-coated silicone breast implants. In 1989, it developed an innovative coating technology with polyurethane foam using the process of vulcanisation. Ever since then, Silimed continues to break ground in new technologies, clinical studies and advances related to polyurethane breast implants, becoming established as a benchmark in developing solutions adapted to the particular needs of each patient.
