The saline breast implant, filled with [[Saline (medicine)|saline solution]], was first manufactured by the Laboratoires Arion company, in France, and introduced for use as a prosthetic [[medical device]] in 1964. Modern-day versions of saline breast implants are manufactured with thicker, room-temperature [[Vulcanization|vulcanized]] (RTV) shells made of a [[silicone]] [[elastomer]].
