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.However, a photo of the suspect medical device was provided.An evaluation using the image was completed.Upon visual evaluation of the image provided in the complaint, the implant was observed ruptured.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.D4: udi: as the serial number for the device involved in the event was not provided, the full udi is currently not available.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: capsular contracture.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 breast augmentation revision surgery with implantation of a 350cc mentor memorygel breast implant prosthesis.Post-operatively, the patient was diagnosed with bilateral baker grade iv capsular contracture during a physical exam.As a result, the patient underwent bilateral exchange with mentor gel implants on (b)(6) 2025.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On december 17, 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 january 06, 2026, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Device evaluation: mentor conducted a visual inspection, microscopic examination, and mechanical testing of the device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to had a tear between the union of the shell and patch.Also, parallel lines of shell wear were observed on the posterior view.Microscopic examination was performed, and the cause of the tear could not be identified.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 it is more likely to occur the longer the implant is implanted.The following things may cause implant to rupture: damage by surgical instruments; 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.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.Mechanical testing was conducted on the complaint sample 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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
