Silimed has the longest experience globally in manufacturing polyurethane breast implants, and has pioneered vulcanisation technology.
Reduction in the risk of capsular contracture complications.1
Enhanced ability to adhere to tissue which reduces the risk of rotation.2
Silimed is the only manufacturer in Europe with a unique conical implant, recommended for breasts with ptosis I and II, making it possible in some cases to achieve a scarless mastopexy.
Excellent performance
regardless of the format
The second main reason for reinterventions in breast augmentation surgeries is the implant rotating and moving.4 The 3D mould with collagen interwoven in the polyurethane foam leads to a velcro-like adhesion, preventing the implant from rotating or moving.1
It is also known that the shape of anatomical implants with other kinds of surfaces can rotate on the vertical axis over time, something that has already been documented in various publications. The polyurethane foam coating prevents this complication for the patient and the surgeon, mainly through using this implant profile.3
The cohesive strength of the implant gel is an important factor that determines the natural appearance and stability of the shape over time.3
