Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient underwent a primary breast reconstruction surgery with implantation of a 430cc mentor memorygel xtra breast implant prosthesis.Post-operatively, the patient underwent left-sided exchange with a mentor gel implant on (b)(6) 2025, for an undisclosed reason.However, during the surgery, a ruptured left implant was discovered.There were no reported procedural delays or patient consequences/harms.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On january 06, 2026, the mentor analysis lab received the suspect medical device for evaluation.On january 12, 2026, mentor completed an evaluation on the returned device.Device evaluation: mentor conducted visual inspection and leak testing of the device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the gel was observed white.Leak testing was performed, in accordance with mentor procedures, and no areas of gel exposure were detected during the analysis.Discoloration of the implant as observed in the sample returned is related to the concentration of the triglycerides in the gel fillers and their degree of unsaturation.This finding is consistent with the reported discoloration of breast gel implant in vivo in the scientific literature.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: rupture status identified by mri evaluation includes both suspected ruptures, which are those ruptures identified by mri but not confirmed by explantation and examination of the device, and confirmed ruptures, which are those ruptures that are confirmed by evaluation of the explanted devices.The event described could not be confirmed as the breast implant was returned without detectable gel exposure.Although no product defect was identified, there may have been other circumstances or issues that occurred during the use of the device that could not be replicated during the laboratory analysis.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.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
