Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient underwent primary breast augmentation with two 225 cc mentor memorygel breast implants.Post-operatively, the patient was diagnosed, via physical examination and scanning, with 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 april 8, 2026, the mentor failure analysis lab received the device for evaluation.On april 14, 2026, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: the product was returned to mentor for evaluation.Mentor conducted a visual inspection, microscopic examination, and shell thickness of the returned device.Visual analysis of the returned device revealed that the breast implant was found to be ruptured.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.Mentor also performed a manufacturing record evaluation related to the reported complaint for the finished device lot number.No manufacturing non-conformances were identified as part of this evaluation.Although no conclusion could be reached on the cause of the reported event, the instructions for use contain the following caution: according to the product insert data sheet, it is possible to damage the implant during insertion.Ensure that excessive force is not applied to a very small area of the shell during insertion of the device through the incision.Instead, apply force over as large an area of the implant as possible.Avoid pushing the device into place with one or two fingers in a localized area, as this may create an area of weakness on the shell.In addition, an incision should be of appropriate length to accommodate the style, size, and profile of the implant.This will reduce the potential for creating excessive stress to the implant during insertion, and will avoid the risk of damage to the implant.The contralateral device was also received.The patient did not report any issue with this device.Therefore, no further analysis of the contralateral device is required.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: no corrective and preventive action (capa) is required now.
