Breast Prosthesis Naming and Modeling
This Editorial Guide is used for Education Purposes Only. It is used in the Authoring Courses and Certifications. It is based on the January 2026 Editorial Guide.
Naming Guidelines
FSN
Use the following naming pattern for the FSN; align terming and case sensitivity with the FSN for the concepts selected as the attribute values, excluding the semantic tag.
[filling] [surface texture] breast implant (physical object)
For example,
Saline-filled textured breast implant (physical object)
Preferred Term
Use the following pattern for the PT; align terming and case sensitivity with the PT for the concept that is selected as the attribute value.
[filling] [surface texture] breast implant
For example,
Saline-filled textured breast implant
Synonym
Synonyms are not generally added for concepts in this hierarchy.
Modeling
Stated parent concept(s)
14789005 |Prosthetic implant (physical object)|
Semantic tag
(physical object)
Attribute: Has device intended site (attribute)
Range: <<123037004 |Body structure (body structure)|.
NOTE: While the MRCM allowed range includes the top-level concept, 123037004 |Body structure (body structure)|, only the descendants should be used in modeling breast prosthesis concepts.
Cardinality: 0..1
Attribute: Has filling (attribute)
Range: <<105590001 |Substance (substance)|
NOTE: While the MRCM allowed range includes the top-level concept, 105590001 |Substance (substance)|, only the descendants should be used in modeling breast prosthesis concepts.
