Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient underwent a breast augmentation revision surgery with a 470cc mentor memorygel breast implant.Post-operatively, the patient experienced observed round balls around her armpit and the side of her right breast.Ultrasound was performed and confirmed that the patient experienced a rupture of her right prosthesis.As a result, the patient underwent removal surgery on (b)(6) 2024.Several follow-ups have been conducted, and no additional information has been received.If more information becomes available, mentor will submit a supplemental report accordingly.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On august 05, 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.On august 07, 2024, the evaluation for the device was completed.Device evaluation summary: visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the sx mod classic gel, 470cc breast implant was found to be ruptured, received incomplete, only the patch was received.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in the whole area of the tear.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.Based on the information currently available, a microscopic examination of the returned product indicates that the implant could have been damaged during or subsequent to implantation.The product insert data sheet cautions to not allow cautery devices or sharp instruments, such as scalpels, suture needles, hypodermic needles, hemostats, adson forceps, or scissors to contact the device during the implantation or other surgical procedures.Lymphadenopathy or palpable lymph nodes may be the result of bacterial or viral infection, neoplasm (primary or metastatic), or as the result of an idiopathic inflammatory process or foreign body reaction.There have been reports regarding movements of silicone gel material to lymph nodes even with or without evident of rupture leading to lymphadenopathy.A number of epidemiology studies have evaluated large populations of women with breast implants from a variety of manufacturers and implant models.The studies do not, taken together, support an association of breast implants and a diagnosed rheumatic disease.Other than one study, these studies do not distinguish whether the women had ruptured or intact implants.Because there were no supporting pathology reports or physician consultation summaries forwarded to product evaluation, we are unable to confirm the presence of or the possible etiology of the reported lymphadenopathy.Lymphadenopathy is a known complication associated with this surgery and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.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 is conducted through complaint trending as part of post-market surveillance.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
