Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient underwent a primary breast augmentation procedure with a mentor memorygel breast implant 425cc gel breast prosthesis (left device) and a mentor memorygel breast implant 400cc gel breast prosthesis (right device) when the left breast prosthesis ruptured post implantation.An ultrasound indicated possible left breast prosthesis rupture.Additionally, the patient developed bilateral breast pain and had an mri performed.Mri results indicated a right breast mass, most likely a benign fibroadenoma.Results also indicated a silicone signal within mildly prominent left axillary lymph nodes.Left breast prosthesis rupture was confirmed.As a result, the patient underwent bilateral explantation with no replacement breast prostheses on (b)(6) 2025.This medwatch report is for the patient¿s right breast prosthesis.Refer to manufacturer report number 1645337-2025-07187 for the report for the patient¿s left breast prosthesis.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On 21-aug-2025, mentor completed the investigation on the suspect medical device.The investigation was completed on a photo of the suspect medical device because the physical device has not been received by mentor.Device evaluation summary: according to the information received, the patient experienced breast pain and developed a breast mass.Upon visual evaluation of the image provided in the complaint, no apparent damage or visual anomalies were observed.As the product involved in this complaint was discarded, the device could not be analyzed according to our procedures.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: since no malfunction was observed during the investigation.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).
