Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient underwent breast augmentation revision with two 790cc mentor memorygel xtra breast implants.Post-operatively, the patient suffered right breast pain and was diagnosed, via mri, with right breast implant rupture.As a result, the patient underwent breast implant removal and replacement surgery on (b)(6) 2025.The replacement device was a mentor gel implant.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On june 13, 2025, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On june 20, 2025, mentor received additional information which indicated that the patient also developed right breast implant lateral malposition, along with the rupture.In addition, the patient's implants were replaced bilaterally with mentor gel implants.On june 20, 2025, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection, microscopic examination, and thickness measurement of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the smooth high profile xtra 790cc breast implant was found to be ruptured, received in two (2) parts.Microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the rupture could not be identified.Therefore, a thickness measurement was conducted on the shell at the tear, and the thickness was within manufacturing specifications.A manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances were identified.Although no conclusion could be reach on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur at any time after implantation, but it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following things may cause implant to rupture: damage by surgical instruments; stressing the implant during implantation and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G.During closed capsulotomy); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.Most women undergoing augmentation or reconstruction with a mammary prosthesis will experience some pain postoperatively.While pain normally subsides in most women as they heal from surgery, it can become a chronic problem in other women.Chronic pain can be associated with a variety of factors.Surgeons should instruct their patients to inform them if there is significant pain or if pain persists.Pain 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.
