Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a female patient who underwent a breast augmentation revision with a mentor memorygel, 490cc silicone breast implant experienced bilateral capsular contracture grade iv, right sided symptomatic rupture, and left-sided gel bleed postoperative.The rupture was discovered during the surgery.As a result, patient underwent bilateral total capsulectomies, bilateral removal without replacement, and liposuction of lateral chest on (b)(6)2024.This report relates to the right side.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation completed on february 02, 2024.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 sm mod classic gel, 490cc breast implant was found to be ruptured.Additionally, shell abrasion was observed on the edges of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture was 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.Mentor concluded that the capsular contracture in the patient´s breast was the result of the body´s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.The american society of plastic surgeons recommends and encourages member surgeons to always submit breast implants, capsules, and effusion to pathology for examination.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
