On november 15, 2024, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On november 19, 2024, device evaluation was completed as follows: mentor conducted a visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned sample revealed that the breast implant had a tear on the posterior view, measuring approximately 4.0 cm.Additionally, siltex cracking was observed on the edges of the rupture.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.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.A seroma is a build-up of fluid around the implant.Symptoms from a seroma may include swelling, pain, and bruising.A seroma may occur soon after surgery, or any time later on, which would be referred to as a late seroma.While the body may absorb seromas, some may require surgery for drainage.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.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).
