The investigation of the returned device was completed by the failure analysis lab on (b)(6) 2021.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient developed capsular contracture and experienced deflation in the right con pro 350/400cc breast implant.The product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the con pro 350/400cc breast implant had an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view.In addition, a tear was noted within the siltex cracking, measuring approximately 0.4 cm.The evaluation determined that the cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex devices.Siltex cracking is ultimately a result of high stresses.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
