20260041814 · 2026-02-12 ·

The present invention relates to new implants, especially breast implants, which are bio-durable, biocompatible, which provide a soft tissue feel, and having a reduced density. Said implants comprise a shell and a filling enclosed by the shell, wherein the filling comprises a silicone foam obtained from a blowable crosslinkable silicone composition comprising an organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups bonded to silicon per molecule, an organosilicon compound having at least two and preferably at least three hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon per molecule, a hydrosilylation catalyst, at least one porogenic agent which is water, hydrogel, or an aqueous silicone emulsion, at least one chemical blowing agent, and a linear polydimethylsiloxane.
