Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a (b)(6) year-old caucasian female patient who underwent an unspecified breast augmentation with 800cc textured mentor memorygel breast implant experienced right-sided implant rupture postoperatively.The patient has consulted with a medical professional and had sonogram performed.At the time of this report, mentor has received no information regarding explantation or an expected explantation date.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 7/21/2021, it was reported to mentor that the patient experienced right side capsular contracture.In addition , the date of removal was to (b)(6) 2021.The left implant was intact.On 7/27/2021, the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.On 8/5/2021 , mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sx mpp gel 800c breast implant had a tear within parallel lines of shell wear on the posterior aspect, measuring approximately 0.3 cm.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no more leak sites were detected during the analysis.The evaluation determined that the cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Shell wear suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device.This may be the result of the following factors: continuous and sustained stresses to the device such as too small breast pocket and folding or wrinkling of the shell in the breast pocket.In some cases, the breast implants may also wear out over time.Most women undergoing augmentation or reconstruction with a mammary prosthesis will experience some pain postoperatively.While pain normally subsides in most women as they heal from surgery, it can become a chronic problem in other women.Chronic pain can be associated with a variety of factors.Surgeons should instruct their patients to inform them if there is significant pain or if pain persists.Pain is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.It should be noted that as part of mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
