Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient underwent primary breast augmentation with two 550cc mentor memorygel breast implants.Post-operatively, the patient suffered right breast implant rupture.As a result, the patient underwent breast implant removal and replacement surgery on (b)(6) 2026.The replacement devices were two mentor gel implants.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
On march 23, 2026, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On april 6, 2026, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted visual inspection of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to have a tear in the posterior aspect, measuring approximately 3.5 cm.Additionally, it had shell abrasion on the edge of the rent.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.As part of mentor¿s quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released according to approved specifications.Based on the results of this investigation, it was determined that the product met the manufacturing release criteria, and that normal wear may have caused the observed defect.No corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.
