On december 01, 2025, the following additional information was provided: date of event: 2010.Date of implantation: (b)(6) 2004.The patient was scheduled for implant removal.Date of explantation: (b)(6) 2025.On december 11, 2025, mentor was notified that the patient underwent bilateral exchange with mentor gel implants during the revision surgery.The left implant was ruptured.Reason for device explant and/or reoperation: rupture, capsular contracture.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On january 26, 2026, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On february 20, 2026, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Device evaluation: mentor conducted visual inspection of the device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to be ruptured.In addition, an area of shell abrasion was observed on the edges of the tear.These findings are consistent with normal wear of the device.Shell abrasion suggests in-vivo folding or creasing of the device, which may be caused by continuous and sustained stresses to the device, such as an excessively small breast pocket or the folding or wrinkling of the shell within the breast pocket.In some cases, breast implants may also experience normal wear 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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
