Abstract:
After testing a variety of materials to line the tissue-fitting surface of silicone prostheses in an attempt to render them adheophilic, tear-resistant, wettable, smooth, and resistant to fungal growth, a vacuum adaptable thermoplastic prefabricated thin urethane film was found to be most effective. A technique is described for fabricating a silicone prosthesis with such a lining.
