Abstract
The mammary implant includes a shell with a base portion and a reinforcement member provided at the base portion. The shell also includes a promontory portion that projects from the base portion. The reinforcement member can be formed with materials of different hardnesses, or of different thicknesses in different areas. The reinforcement member can also be formed with ribs, rings or grooves at various areas of the reinforcement member to enhance flexibility or rigidity. The reinforced mammary implant prevents capsular contracture due to scar tissue formation after implantation and thus maintains a desired profile and softness of the implanted prosthesis.
