ABSTRACT:
A breast prosthesis made from an elastic plastic material provided with a hollow body-like shaped breast part corresponding to the natural breast and a contact surfaced adapted to the human body shape having an opening connecting the inner space of the shaped breast part. The inner space of the shaped breast part is widened in dome-like manner as from the opening and has at least two vertical reinforcing or rolling ribs in the inner cavity area which are supported in such a way that they roll downwards on inverting-over the breast prosthesis. This leads to a constant strength distribution over the entire prosthesis periphery when the breast prosthesis is worn, corresponding to the natural breast, while simultaneously maintaining the elastic properties of the latter.
