Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Since the device has not been returned for analysis, no product failure analysis can be conducted, and no determination of possible contributing factors can be made.As such, the investigation will be closed.If the complaint device is received in the future, the investigation will be reopened and conducted as appropriate.A manufacturing record evaluation (mre) was performed, and no anomalies were found related to this complaint.In addition, the mre verifies that the device was manufactured in accordance with documented specification and procedures.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: rupture date of explantation: (b)(6), 2025.Mentor is submitting this report pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which mentor has not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by fda, mentor, or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the device, mentor, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.If certain information is unknown, not available or does not apply, the section/field of the form is left blank.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient underwent a primary breast augmentation surgery with implantation of a 650cc mentor memorygel breast implant prosthesis.Post-operatively, the patient was diagnosed with a ruptured left implant during a physical exam and confirmed using magnetic resonance imaging.As a result, the patient was scheduled for bilateral implant removal on (b)(6) 2025.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On (b)(6), 2025, mentor was notified that the patient was also diagnosed with bilaterally bottomed out and lateralized implants creating breast ptosis.As a result, the patient underwent bilateral exchange with mentor gel implants during the revision surgery.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: migration as an event for the contralateral side was indicated, another file was generated to document the event.  this report is for the left breast prosthesis.  manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On february 03, 2026, the mentor failure analysis lab has received the device for evaluation.The analysis has begun but is not complete at this time.When the investigational analysis has been completed, a supplemental report will be submitted.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On march 04, 2026, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Device evaluation: mentor conducted a visual inspection, microscopic examination, shell thickness, and mechanical testing of the device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to be ruptured and received in two parts.Microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.Therefore a thickness measurement was conducted on the shell at the tear, and the thickness was within manufacturing specifications.Mechanical testing was conducted on complaint samples including tension set to evaluate the residual elongation, joint strength to examine the ability of the shell/patch bond to withstand stress while the shell material adjacent to the bond is elongated, and tensile/elongation to measure the inherent material behavior.All testing results met or exceeded the international standards.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture can occur at any time after implantation but is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following may cause implant to rupture: stressing the implant during implantation and weakening it; folding or wrinkling of the implant shell; excessive force to the chest (e.G.During closed capsulotomy); trauma; compression during mammographic imaging; and severe capsular contracture.Breast implants may also simply wear out over time.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.Some breast ptosis is a normal component of the mature breast.Ptosis becomes undesirable when the breast parenchyma predominates below the areola, droops considerably below the inframammary fold and the nipple points downward.Augmentation alone, without consideration of the ptosis can produce a less than desirable cosmetic result known as a "rock in sock" deformity or an increased ptotic appearance.Ptosis is a known complication associated with these devices and is referenced in our current product insert data sheet.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
