Device evaluation completed on january 18, 2025: upon visual evaluation of the image provided in the complaint, the implant was observed deflated.As the product involved in this complaint was discarded, the device couldn´t be analyzed according to our procedures.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device batch number, and no non-conformances were identified.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, capsule, and effusion to pathology for examination.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
