SILIMED PRODUCTS

Silimed offers to the plastic surgery market, the most complete line of high-performance silicone implants, to better reproduce the anatomy of each body area.

 

THE SILIMED IMPLANTS GEL

Silimed's HSC and HSC+ cohesive high-performance gel has been used for many years and has physical characteristics that may vary according to the implant's destination area. And although its consistency may be more or less hard, it is capable of resembling tissues, and reaches its main goal, which is to mould the body, improve its appearance, and keep its natural look.

 

SILIMED OFFERS THE MARKET TWO LINES OF BREAST IMPLANTS WITH VARIOUS SHAPES AND SURFACES:

The BioDesign Collection line and the Standard line.

 

BIODESIGN COLLECTION SILICONE BREAST IMPLANTS

The BioDesign Collection is an innovative line with exclusive measurements, which offers five implant models developed to meet the patient's different biotypes. For each of these formats, there are four different projections with the same base size.

Available* in the following surfaces: Pure Polyurethane and True Texture.

 

POLYURETHANE FOAM-COATED BREAST IMPLANTS - PURE POLYURETHANE

Silimed is the most experienced company in the world in manufacturing silicone breast implants coated with polyurethane foam. It has been in the market for 45 years and for 33 years it has continued to manufacture and innovate technologies for polyurethane-coated implants.

Learn the main reasons why Silimed polyurethane foam-coated breast implants reduce risks of adverse effects, minimize possible complications, and offer implant safety and a satisfactory aesthetic result.

 

Capsular contracture

Low capsular contracture rate of 1% IN 10 YEARS

 

Rotation or displacement of the implant

(Movement from its original position)

Polyurethane foam has a high adhesion capacity to the tissues around the implant, reducing the risk of rotation and displacement occurring.²

The adhesion of the polyurethane membrane is done by vulcanization, without any use of glue, avoiding double capsules.

 

SURFACE TEXTURED BREAST IMPLANTS - TRUE TEXTURE

In March 2012, Silimed became the first manufacturer in the world to have anatomical, round silicone breast implants, coated with True Texture, approved by the FDA for the North American market.³

 

True Texture ensures safety

A proprietary method of texturizing that consists of diffusing gas, forming an open pore structure in your membrane. It is a proprietary method, which does not use negative imprinting, sugar or sodium chloride, and guarantees a low rate of capsular contracture of 9% in 10 years.³

 

SMOOTH SURFACE BREAST IMPLANTS

Silimed smooth surface implants are made of a mechanically resistant silicone elastomer membrane with Low Bleed treatment, which contributes to minimising the silicone gel transudation through the elastomer membrane barrier. They are filled with cohesive, high-performance HSC and HSC+ gel.
