ABSTRACT:
Surgical implants for human breasts have small, 5-10 cc flat disc-shaped pouches containing saline material. About 20-50 pouches are held within an outer membrane. The encapsulation of the saline solution within the pouches provides an apparent increase of viscosity of saline, and the flat disc shapes provide protection against rupture.
