The mammary prostheses (10) of the invention have a self-sealing area (15) in the upper pole region of the anterior face. The self-sealing area (15) is greater than that of a traditional filling port, and reduces the severity of the consequences of an inadvertent puncture by a hypodermic needle during the filling process. Also, this self-sealing area (15) is thicker than the material in the other areas of the prosthesis, causing fluid introduced to the prosthesis to stay in the lower pole region of the prosthesis, making the shape of the prosthesis appear more like that of a natural breast.
L'invention concerne des prothèses mammaires (10) comportant une zone auto-étanche (15) dans la région du pole supérieur de la face antérieure. Cette zone auto-étanche (15) est plus grande que celle d'un orifice de remplissage classique et permet de réduire la sévérité des conséquences d'une perforation accidentelle par une aiguille hypodermique lors d'un processus de remplissage. Elle (15) est aussi d'épaisseur plus importante que le matériau à d'autres endroits de la prothèse, ce qui oblige le liquide introduit dans la prothèse à rester dans la région du pole inférieur de la prothèse, rendant la forme de la prothèse plus proche de celle d'un sein naturel.
