Patent ID: 8257531

Claim:
A method of making an external breast prosthesis, comprising: (a) mixing together a polymer and a plasticizing oil and at least one non-volatile additive to form a mixture; (b) heating the mixture; (c) forming the mixture into a front elastomeric skin, wherein the front elastomeric skin has a shape approximating a form of a human breast; (d) cooling the mixture thereby allowing the non-volatile additive to precipitate to the outer surface of the outer skin whereby a cratered outer surface is formed; (e) forming a rear elastomeric skin having a shape adapted to seal with the front elastomeric skin; (f) sealing the front elastomeric skin with the rear elastomeric skin so as to form a cavity therebetween; and (g) filling a cavity between the front elastomeric skin and the rear elastomeric skin with a gel.
