Dual surface modification of PDMS-based silicone implants to suppress capsular contracture.

Acta Biomaterialia, 2018
In this study, we report a new physicochemical surface on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based silicone implants in an effort to minimize capsular contracture.

In vivo contaminant partitioning to silicone implants: Implications for use in biomonitoring and body burden

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2015
Silicone polymers are used for a wide array of applications from passive samplers in environmental studies, to implants used in human augmentation and reconstruction. If silicone sequesters toxicants throughout implantation, it may represent a history of

Silicone implants capable of the local, controlled delivery of triamcinolone for the prevention of fibrosis with minimized drug side effects

Journal of Industrial & Engineering Chemistry, 2018
We propose silicone implants capable of the local, controlled release of a glucocorticoid drug, triamcinolone acetonide (TA), for the prevention of fibrosis.

Efficient reduction of fibrous capsule formation around silicone breast implants densely grafted with 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymers by heat-induced polymerization.

Biomaterials Science, 2020
Implants based on silicone elastomers, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), have been widely used for breast augmentation and reconstruction, but excessive foreign body reactions around implants often cause serious side effects such as capsular contracture.
