Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient underwent a primary breast augmentation surgery with implantation of an undisclosed mentor textured gel breast implant prosthesis.Post-operatively, the patient was diagnosed with a possibly ruptured right breast implant using an undisclosed radiology scan.Additionally, some fluid was noted in the right breast area per the scan.As a result, the patient underwent bilateral removal and replacement with 250cc mentor memorygel breast implants on (b)(6) 2024.The fluid was collected and set for pathology.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On may 31, 2024, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.With the returned device, the product identity was determined as the following: size: 250cc; brand name: mentor memorygel breast implant; catalog: 3542507; lot: 5609295.On june 01, 2024, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and leak testing of the device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant had an area of siltex cracking on the posterior view.Leak testing was performed, according to the mentor procedure, and it revealed a tear within the siltex cracking, measuring approximately 0.3 cm.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.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed for lot 5609295, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
