Silicone, by contrast, is a synthetic polymer made up of silicon

silicone is no longer the correct term (though it remains in common usage) and that the term siloxanes is correct according to the nomenclature of modern chemistry.[4]

Most common are materials based on polydimethylsiloxane, which is derived by hydrolysis of dimethyldichlorosilane

In no way is this an attempt to derail or distract, but it seems like a more educated argument against SiNi vs. ceramics crack. Ceramics squeak. First quote lays down the fear. Second two quotes are suggesting the polymerization of quartz may be so complicated it warps a relatively bio compatible material into something that is no longer bio compatible.(sarcasm) It's ok because hashimoto's is a non issue in the first place and sounds like a personal problem (/sarcasm) Real easy to disprove. Just go back through the patient list and check for Hashimoto's and pain and swelling in the area indicating a foreign body reaction. It would be interesting to see this done with the traditional implant materials. Reminder, I think this is what a detail in the FDA restructuring may implement.

Here's a thought someone suggested I found novel and of a different perspective. What if adoption of SiNi INCREASED lawsuits? What? What?. In the same manner J&J never released a new and improved baby powder now without asbestos? What if adoption of SiNi could be viewed as an admission of guilt? Rather than adopt a material that solves problems they simply wish it would go away since it highlights alot of issues they would rather be swept under the rug? The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem in the first place? If true, the only shot at change is to fully crush the industry under an onslaught of lawsuits IMO. Not that an army of lawyers isn't attempting that for profit with what appears to be no effect. Maybe it's not about selling implants and settling the lawsuits. It's about how the market perceives you and selling the stock. Stocks over reality.
