In a method of applying a desired texture to a surface of a silicone elastomer, an uncured silicone elastomer is applied to at least one side of a polymeric film. At least one side of the polymeric film has a complementary texture that is complementary in shape to the desired texture. The uncured silicone elastomer is cured while it is in contact with the at least one side of the polymeric film so as to form a cured silicone elastomer. The polymeric film is removed from the cured silicone elastomer so as to expose the desired texture on the surface thereof. The flexible polymeric film can be a bag placed into a breast prosthesis mold. The bag includes at least one interior surface with the complementary texture. The bag is removed from the cured silicone elastomer to expose the breast prosthesis having a textured surface.

The invention discloses a low-swelling-rate hydrogel material based on natural polysaccharide and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of implantable medical devices. The low-swelling-rate hydrogel material is of a double-crosslinking network structure composed of a first crosslinking network and a second crosslinking network, the first crosslinking network is a covalent crosslinking network formed by zwitterionic monomers through free radical polymerization, and the second crosslinking network is a covalent crosslinking network formed by zwitterionic monomers through free radical polymerization. The second cross-linked network is a physical cross-linked network formed by coordination of alginate and metal ions. The low-swelling-rate hydrogel material provided by the invention has the characteristic of low swelling rate in normal saline, and can still reach compression stress and compression modulus equivalent to those of commercially available breast prostheses after balanced swelling in the normal saline.

Disclosed is a degradable breast prosthesis shaping mesh (10) having a heterogeneous hierarchical porous structure, comprising a macroporous structure layer (100) and a microporous structure layer (200). The macroporous structure layer (100) and the microporous structure layer (200) are formed by alternately arranging and combining degradable fibers to conform to a breast prosthesis, thereby providing the mechanical properties and tissue adhesion properties required by the mesh (10). The macroporous structure layer and the microporous structure layer cooperate to achieve the function of integrating the prosthesis with the tissue, without the need for an additional suturing fixation device. The overall shape of the mesh (10) is designed as a hemispherical upper cover (11) and a lower end cover rim (12), thereby simplifying the assembly process with the prosthesis and improving the surgical efficiency. The mesh (10) possesses excellent mechanical properties and shaping ability. Moreover, a microporous structure facilitates the adhesion and migration of cells, reduces the rejection reaction of the body, and significantly reduces the incidence of capsular contracture.
