A soft prosthetic implant, for example, a breast implant, having a shell filled with a fluid. One or more components of the soft prosthetic implant receive a unique identifier for traceability during the manufacturing process. The unique identifier is placed on one component, such as a patch molded-in-place with a shell to form a soft prosthetic implant. Information about the respective components, as well as process parameters, can be stored on the unique identifier for later reference. The unique identifier may be a two-dimensional printed label or laser-etched characters, or may be a three-dimensional embossed or indented region. The unique identifier may be a separate label attached to the respective component, or may be formed in the component, such as with embossing.
