New low-bleed implant--Silastic II.
A new low-bleed breast implant has been tested both clinically and experimentally. In the guinea pig, two-thirds of the capsules are thin; there is less inflammation and less foreign body reaction than we have seen in previous implants. Evaluations by various investigators show good patient and surgeon acceptance of the new low-bleed implants.
