B-Lite®, now part of POLYTECH!
Discover the first and only Lightweight Breast Implants in the world!
The uniquely lightweight B-Lite® series is considered one of the most significant developments in the industry over the last 30 years. Up to 30% lighter than traditional implants, they provide the same fullness and firmness look and feel.
To achieve this, B-Lite® combine proven materials with breakthrough technology: the standard silicone gel filling is enhanced with special microspheres and is designed to reduce the effects of gravity. The result is an implant that combines comfort with sustainable aesthetics.
B-Lite® breast implants reduce stress on the breast and connective tissue – even with large models. Thus, they retain a natural, attractive shape and ensure a more relaxed wear.
Lightness you can feel
The significant weight reduction is achieved through the unique and proprietary B-Lite® gel, a microsphere-enhanced cohesive implantable-grade silicone gel. The microspheres are inert, ultra-high purity, hollow, borosilicate microspheres that are broadly used in space technology as a lightweight yet robust solution. Microspheres are used and approved in numerous clinical applications.
The B-Lite® microspheres are permanently bonded within the surrounding cohesive silicone gel. By employing selective spatial positioning and by chemically bonding the microspheres to the gel network, less silicone gel is required and extra reinforcement is achieved. Even in the unlikely event of rupture, the microspheres are designed to remain bound within the gel.
B-Lite® gel offers significantly less weight. Extensively investigated in stringent preclinical testing and validation phases, B-Lite® is CE marked and its unique features and characteristics were proved in biological, mechanical, and chemical testing performed by leading labs checking performance under conditions often exceeding required benchmarks.
B-Lite® was developed by a team of plastic surgeons, chemists, biologists, scientists and engineers, working together to revolutionize the breast augmentation experience.
