Descriptor geles de silicona
Scope note: Geles sintéticos de organosiloxanos formados a partir de polímeros sintéticos de óxido de silicona con cadenas laterales orgánicas (polidimetilsiloxano) mediante alargamiento de las cadenas poliméricas. A diferencia de los elastómeros de silicona, no son tratados con sílica amorfa. Se utilizan como elementos de relleno en implantes de mama.

Scope note: Synthetic organosiloxane gels that are formed from synthetic polymers of silicone oxide with organic sidechains (polydimethylsiloxane) by lengthening the polymer chains. Unlike silicone elastomers, they are not treated with amorphous silica. They are used as fillers in breast implants.
