On october 18, 2024, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On october 23, 2024, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Mentor then conducted visual inspection and microscopic examination of the device.Visual analysis of the returned sample, determined that the breast implant was found to be deflated.A tear is extended approximately 3.0 cm from the posterior to the anterior view.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.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. manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
