Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient implanted with a 320c mentor memorygel breast implant experienced a rupture, breast pain, and a seroma on the left side post-operatively.The patient required surgical intervention to treat via surgical washing.As a result, the patient underwent explantation on (b)(6) 2025.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor then conducted 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 breast implant.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and two tears (a and b) were noted on the anterior view measuring approximately 0.6 cm and 0.2 cm respectively.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the tears, and parallel striations were found in the whole area of 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 tears 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.A seroma is a build-up of fluid around the implant.Symptoms from a seroma may include swelling, pain, and bruising.A seroma may occur soon after surgery, or any time later on, which would be referred to as a late seroma.While the body may absorb seromas, some may require surgery for drainage.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.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).
