silicone gel

Soft implant filler

Silicone gel is a soft, pliable material made from silicone polymers, used in medical implants, scar treatment sheets, cushioning pads, and various industrial applications.

Unlike liquid silicone, the gel holds its shape while remaining flexible: The breast implant was filled with silicone gel.

It's prized for being chemically inert and compatible with human tissue.
