Abstract
The prosthesis as replacement for an amputated breast consists of a shell modelled to the shape of the breast made of elastic material, in which, apart from a filled, slowly flowing mass, at least one elastically deformable, porous molding is provided. The slowly flowing mass advantageously consists of a gel-like or partially vulcanized silicone rubber, due to which the porous molding is substantially fixed in its position in the shell.
