Surface
Studies indicate that the type of implant surface can directly influence the outcome of the procedure. Silimed offers two surface
options for breast implants:

PURE POLYURETHANE
- Low capsular contracture rate of 1% in 10 years.¹
- The polyurethane adhesive resists rotation.²
- Its velcro effect is effective in patients with ptosis.²

TRUE TEXTURE
- Patented texture method with formation of open pores in the membrane without the use of negative printing, sugar or sodium chloride.
- Low capsular contracture rate of 8% in 9 years³. Other manufacturers report rates of up to 17% in 10 years⁴ in clinical studies.⁵'⁶
