Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On february 14, 2025, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted a visual inspection, leak testing, and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that no damage or anomalies were observed on the smooth high profile xtra 755cc breast implant.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and it identified multiple tears on the anterior view, all tears measuring approximately between 0.1 cm and 0.3 cm.In addition, no other areas of gel exposure were found during the analysis.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the ruptures, and parallel striations were found in the whole area of all the tears.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.Based on the information currently available, 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.Regarding the reported capsular contracture condition, there are not enough details to determine the factors that may have caused this condition.Capsular contracture in the patient¿s breast might be the result of the body¿s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Further, capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.As part of mentor's quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released according to approved specifications.Based on the results of this investigation, it was determined that the product met the manufacturing release criteria: no corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.
