Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On october 16, 2023, mentor was notified that the patient underwent bilateral replacement with 500cc mentor smooth round high profile saline breast implants.On october 30, 2023, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On november 02, 2023, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted visual inspection of the device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant was found to be ruptured.In addition, siltex cracking was observed at the edges of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture is 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.Granulomas are noncancerous nodules that are a common tissue reaction to the presence of a variety of foreign materials, such as silicone.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
