Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On december 02, 2024, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.Paperwork received with the device provided a patient identifier.Patient identifier: (b)(6).On december 14, 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.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the rupture, and parallel striations were found in an area of the tear on the anterior aspect, measuring approximately 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.Regarding the reported capsular contracture condition, there are not enough details to determine the factors that may have caused this condition.Capsular contracture in the patient¿s breast might be the result of the body¿s individual physiological response to the implantation of a foreign object in soft tissue.Further, capsular contracture is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
