On 24-oct-2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.Additionally, an updated explantation date ((b)(6) 2024) was reported.The patient¿s explanted breast prostheses were replaced with mentor memorygel boost breast implant 630cc gel breast prostheses.On 28-oct-2024, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient experienced a rupture in the breast implant.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 breast implant had an area of missing material on the posterior view.Additionally, siltex cracking was observed on the edges of the missing material.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture 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.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.Additional complaint information monitoring for potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
