Motivated by family experiences, Erik Muñoz Arellano created the company Proyecto Cali, which seeks to produce personalized breast prostheses for patients who have undergone mastectomies, and that these are created with environmentally friendly materials to guarantee durability, comfort and low cost .

For a year, Proyecto Cali has focused its efforts on finding the ideal design for the impression of breast prostheses. Erik Muñoz, a chemical engineering student at the University Center for Exact Sciences and Engineering (CUCEI) of the University of Guadalajara (UdeG), assures that they work with commercial materials, such as thermoplastic Polyurethane (PU), which offers high malleability and can be melted to re-create new parts.

He also pointed out that one of the advantages of using PU is that it has a high tolerance to acidic pH environments, its composition helps to personalize the prosthesis, it can be easily washed and offers a durability of more than five years.

This emerging company has already developed the first prototypes that were tested in a group of 300 volunteers and is already completing the patent application process to register the design of the prosthesis.
