On (b)(6) 2021, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On (b)(6) 2021, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample determined that the mentor memoryshape¿ mm 775cc breast implant was found to have a tear on the posterior view measuring approximately 19.8 cm.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in an area of the tear on the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.1 cm.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.The cause of the rupture in the remaining area of the tear could not be identified.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances were identified.Mentor concluded that the capsular contracture in the patient´s breast was the result of the body´s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.The american society of plastic surgeons recommends and encourages member surgeons to always submit breast implants, capsules, and effusion to pathology for examination.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.This supplemental report is for the patient¿s right-sided device.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
