Embodiments of the invention include a breast nipple areola complex tattoo stencil comprising first, second and third stencil sections. The first stencil section defines an areola area. The second stencil section defines a nipple area and tubercle areas. One or more registration elements on the first and/or second stencil sections enable registration of the second stencil section to the first stencil section. The third stencil section defines one or both of a nipple shading area and a nipple highlight area. One or more registration elements on the third and/or second stencil sections enable registration of the third stencil section to the second stencil section.

The present disclosure provides tissue products produced from a combination of three-dimensional biologic scaffolds and acellular tissue matrices. The tissue products may include features for suture or fixation reinforcement. The tissue products may harness various properties of different acellular tissue matrices and different three-dimensional biologic scaffolds to provide improved composite structures with desired mechanical and/or biologic properties.

The present disclosure relates to surgical grafts for replacing nipples and areolas lost to disease or trauma with surgical grafts of decellularized donor nipples and areolas and to placing and recellularizing such grafts. The disclosure further provides methods for decellularizing epidermis. The decellularized epidermis can be used as a protective cover for skin wounds.

A nipple implant assembly and method for implanting the nipple implant are provided. The nipple implant assembly includes a nipple skeleton with or without areola made of metallic or non-metallic memory-shape bio-compatible material. The nipple implant assembly may consist of holes to allow growth of natural breast tissue into the implant for improved holding better attachment of the implant into the human's tissue. The nipple implant assembly may be coated by or cast in a polymeric coating.

Apparatus and methods for nipple and breast formation are described where devices precondition or expand a target nipple tissue to reduce the pressure exerted by the skin on an eventual implant. Generally, the apparatus comprises a mold having a contact surface which is cured in conformance with a breast upon which the mold is positionable, the contact surface having an adhesive for securement upon the breast, and the mold defining a cavity along the contact surface which conforms to a size of a nipple to be formed upon the breast and where the cavity further comprises the adhesive for securement to the nipple. A breast enlargement device comprises a cup larger than the target breast and further defines an inner surface which adheres to the breast when contacted.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a breast prosthesis, in which a first dispersion of a first granular material is introduced into a cross-linkable silicone compound. The silicone compound subsequently is cured in order to form a prosthesis body, wherein the prosthesis body is heated to a shrinking temperature which lies above the melting point of the thermoplastic material.

A breastfeeding device adapted to fit over a natural breast is provided. The device includes a reservoir that stores a received liquid and has an inner surface and an outer surface. Additionally, the device includes an access opening that is formed in the outer surface of the reservoir and is adapted to receive an attachment. The inner surface of the reservoir is attached onto a surface of the natural breast emulating a contour thereof.

An artificial beast and a silicone rubber body are provided. This artificial breast comprises a first layer, a second layer, a third layer, a fourth layer, and an outer cover layer. The first layer contains a silicone gel, and the second layer is a harder layer than the first layer, is a part on the outside of the first layer. The third layer is disposed outside the first layer and the second layer and is a harder layer than the first layer and the second layer. The outer cover layer is formed from a colored layer, a cover layer, and a reflection suppression layer.

A mammary prosthesis and an artificial nipple are provided. This mammary prosthesis includes a first layer, a second layer, and an outer layer. The first layer is constituted by including a mixture of a silicone rubber and at least two thickening agents having mutually different viscosities. A hollow is formed inside the first layer. The second layer is a layer harder than the first layer, and is laminated on the outer portion of the first layer in a state of covering the entire first layer. The outer layer is laminated on the curved portion of the second layer opposite the first layer. The outer layer is constituted by a colored layer, a cover layer, and a reflection-suppressing layer. The cover layer is disposed outside the colored layer, and the reflection-suppressing layer is disposed outside the cover layer.
