The Silima® collection is one of the core segments of the Thuasne Group, whose expertise in orthopaedics and compression is known worldwide. In addition to a complete range of external breast forms in a wide variety of styles, they also produce lingerie and swimwear series for daily comfort, safety and restoring the female silhouette.
Silima® breast prostheses are manufactured by hand at Thuasne’s production centre in Germany. Only skin-friendly materials that are very gentle and comfortable even for very sensitive skin are used. They simply want their breast prostheses to be as natural as possible, not just in terms of shape and appearance.
With more than 45 years of experience, Silima can offer a complete range of breast prostheses and bras with prosthetic pockets in a wide range of sizes and colours.
Silima® has developed a special processing technique for adjusting the elasticity of the silicone to assure the natural quality of Silima® breast forms made of soft, yet at the same time textured and extremely tear-proof, silicone. High-elasticity, gossamer-thin polyurethane (PU) film encases the soft silicone body of the Silima® breast forms like a skin and prevents the molecules from escaping to the surface. The film is extremely tear-proof, which further enhances the durability of the breast form. Furthermore, the PU film and silicone join to form a single unit, which ensures very natural movement. Skin friendly and gentle.
The polyurethane film is elastic, resistant to chlorine and salt water, and heat conducting, which allows the breast form to adopt body temperature when worn. The film is not just skin friendly: it also feels natural. And thanks to a special matt finish, it even resembles the appearance of skin very closely A natural beige tone, together with two different shades of brown are available to match the respective skin colour, thus making sure the breast form looks quite natural, even under flimsy clothing.
