Las prótesis mamarias auto-adherentes no necesitan de la sustentación de un sostén especial, ya que pueden ser adheridas directamente a la piel pectoral de la usuaria por medio de un adhesivo biocompatible e hipo-alérgico. [...] La prótesis mamaria auto-adherente EXSIL viene con un exclusivo adhesivo reutilizable, hecho 100% de polímero de silicona que se adhiere directamente a la piel en el lado interno de la prótesis mamaria, formando así una camada de adhesivo auto-adherente entre la prótesis mamaria y el cuerpo. 1, record 1, Spanish, - pr%C3%B3tesis%20mamaria%20auto%2Dadherente
