    Abstract: A filler material for a surgically implantable prosthesis comprised of a synthetic triglyceride having a viscosity substantially greater than that of naturally occurring triglycerides is provided. The triglyceride composition is formed of saturated alkyl chains to reduce or limit the potential for oxidation of the alkyl chains to form peroxide groups which adversely affect the biocompatibility of the filler material and the implant. Preferably, the filler material has a viscosity substantially the equivalent of a normal human breast. The synthetic triglyceride filler material may also have a lower viscosity which is a liquid at room temperature for use in inflatable devices. Prostheses containing filler material having the desired viscosity and antioxidation characteristics are also provided as well as a method for preparing the filler material.

    Abstract: A passive transponder (28) may be encoded with a binary number or code of 64 bits or more and then associated with or mounted to virtually any implant intended for implantation in a human including temporary implants such as drug release implants (130) and organ displacement devices (134). After implantation, the transponder's code may be conveniently read with a hand-held electromagnetic reader (34) which may merely be brought within proximity of the transponder (28). The encoded transponder (28) may thus be read in a noninvasive procedure and without the use of any sophisticated or potentially harmful medical equipment or technology such as X-rays. Where the position of the implant in the human changes over time, or is otherwise unknown to attending medical personnel, the transponder and implant can be located by using a strength of signal indicator on the electromagnetic reader (34). The information encoded in the transponder may simply be a tag for locating the implant, or may correspond to patient demographics and implant data to aid in tracking the implant and patient for medical as well as legal reasons.

    Abstract: A breast implant includes a shell fashioned from one of a group of materials which exhibit radiolucency at those x-ray intensities normally encountered for mammographic procedures. The radiolucent shell may be filled with radiolucent fill material as previously taught to thereby comprise a fully radiolucent breast implant. The radiolucent breast implant enhances the use of mammography in detecting tumors in patients having breast implants to more effectively diagnose and treat cancer.
