It was reported that a 295cc mentor memorygel xtra breast implant ruptured during a procedure.There were no patient consequences.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The impacted product was received by the failure analysis lab on april 11, 2025.The investigation of the returned device was completed by the failure analysis lab on april 18, 2025.Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection and microscopic examination of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to have a tear on the anterior view measuring approximately 6.0 cm.Microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: according to the product insert data sheet, it is possible to damage the implant during insertion.Ensure that excessive force is not applied to a very small area of the shell during insertion of the device through the incision.Instead, apply force over as large an area of the implant as possible.Avoid pushing the device into place with one or two fingers in a localized area, as this may create an area of weakness on the shell.In addition, an incision should be of appropriate length to accommodate the style, size, and profile of the implant.This will reduce the potential for creating excessive stress to the implant during insertion, and will avoid the risk of damage to the implant.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.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).
