Abstract:

A kit for the repair of damaged prosthetic devices provides for the expeditious and economical repair of such prostheses. The kit is directed primarily to the repair of externally worn silicone gel filled breast prostheses, which prostheses are relatively costly and perhaps more vulnerable to damage than other types. The basic member of the kit is a thin, flexible adhesive backed tape of vinyl or other suitable material, which tape may be stored on a backing sheet. The backing sheets may be in the form of a roll, or alternatively several planar sheets may be included in a relatively flat container for persons who may not be able to conveniently carry a bulky roll. Several shapes and sizes of tapes may be included in a single kit, and different kits may include different coloring, shading and/or texture in order that the user may most closely approximate the proper coloring, shading and/or texture of the damaged prosthesis. However, each of the repair tapes in a given kit are of like coloring, shading and texture in order that all repair tapes in that given kit will closely approximate the coloring, shading and/or texture of the prosthesis for which the repair kit was made.
