On june 20, 2022 the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.The investigation of the returned device was completed by the failure analysis lab on june 22, 2022.Device evaluation 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 sal smooth rnd diap 125cc breast implant had a crease/fold on the anterior view.In addition, a tear was noted within the crease/fold measuring 0.3 cm.The evaluation determined that the cause of the rupture is consistent with normal wear.Deflation can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.Creating wrinkles or folds should be avoided during implantation or other procedures as it can result in deflation at a later time.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
