On june 30, 2025, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.The patient's date of birth and identifier were also provided and have populated accordingly.On july 4, 2025, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to have a tear on the posterior view, measuring approximately 0.4 cm.In addition, siltex cracking was noted on the edge of the rupture.The evaluation determined that the possible cause of the rupture is 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.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, and that normal wear may have caused the observed defect.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.
