Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On april 12, 2022, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: 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 gel mod-rnd 700cc breast implant was found to be ruptured and received in two parts.Additionally, shell abrasion was observed on the edges of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Shell abrasion 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.It should be noted that as part of the mentor¿s quality process all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.
