On october 6, 2023, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On october 11, 2023, 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 sal siltex rnd diap pkg 125cc breast implant had an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view.In addition, two tears (a and b) were observed on the posterior view both within the siltex cracking measuring approximately 0.7 cm and 0.3 cm respectively.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the tears was consistent with normal wear.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex devices.Siltex cracking is ultimately a result of high stresses.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Capa activity was not required.
