On september 15, 2021, device evaluation was completed.Device evaluation summary: mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample determined that the mentor memoryshape¿ mm 440cc breast implant was found to be ruptured.In addition, a line of shell wear within the rupture was noted.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.A second product was received (lot-6746504).No adverse events were reported for this concomitant (contralateral) device, therefore no further analysis is required.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
