On august 12, 2025, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On august 19, 2025, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Device evaluation: mentor then conducted visual inspection and microscopic examination of the device.Visual analysis of the returned device determined that the breast implant was found to be ruptured and received in two (2) parts.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in an area of the tear on the posterior aspect, measuring approximately less than 0.1 cm.Parallel striations are consistent with markings made by a sharp object perforating the implant shell.The cause of the rupture in the remaining area of the tear could not be identified.Implant displacement/migration may occur from improper implant sizing and/or placement, i.E., when the implant is too large or the pocket too small or when there has been inadequate preoperative assessment of stresses causing movement of the prosthesis.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
