ABSTRACT:
A non-bleeding surgical breast implant containing mechanically stable 3-dimensional crosslinked hydrogel filler material hydrated directly inside a shell. Discrete polymeric hydrogel units at their smallest dehydrated solid dry state are placed into inconsiderable volume of a completely deflated shell through a sealable hole and subsequently are hydrated to a desired size either prior to or following implantation into a non-bleeding breast implant.
