Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient underwent a breast augmentation revision surgery with implantation of a 280cc mentor memorygel xtra breast implant prosthesis.Post-operatively, the patient was diagnosed with bilateral baker grade iii capsular contracture using ultrasound imaging.As a result, the patient underwent bilateral exchange with mentor gel implants on (b)(6) 2025.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On december 12, 2025, 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 17, 2025, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Device evaluation: mentor then conducted visual inspection, leak test and microscopic examination of the device.Visual analysis of the returned device determined that the breast implant was found to have bubbles within gel.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and two tears (a,b) were found on the anterior aspect of the implant measuring all tears (a,b) approximately 0.1 cm.No additional areas of gel exposure were found.Microscopic examination was performed on the edges of the ruptures (a, b) , 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 returned product 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.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).
