On september 18, 2023, mentor received a device that matched the reported event details.On october 06, 2023, mentor confirmed that the returned device belongs to this complaint file.On october 16, 2023, mentor completed a visual inspection of the returned device.Device evaluation summary: visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was found to be ruptured.In addition, an area of shell abrasion was observed at the edge of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the possible 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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
