Updated device evaluation completed on august 30, 2022: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that no damage or anomalies were observed on the con pro 350/400cc breast implant.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no leak sites were detected during the analysis.The event described could not be confirmed as the breast implant was returned without detectable leaks.Although no product deflation was identified, there may have been other circumstances or issues that occurred during the use of the device that could not be replicated during the laboratory analysis.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, capsule, and effusion to pathology for examination.As part of mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
