The instructions for use in the directions for use were reviewed, to determinate if there are indications that ensure the prevention and good handling of the product.For this event, it is considered that the information is suitable for the section of surgical precautions as follows: "a capsular contracture pertains to hypertrophic scar tissue investing in a foreign body or surgically implanted device, compromising the aesthetic outcome, resulting in pain, breast deformity, and often necessitating further operations.Detection of breast cancer by mammography may also be challenging.Capsular contracture may be more common following infection, hematoma and seroma, and the chance of it happening may increase over time.Capsular contracture occurs more commonly in patients undergoing revision surgery than in patients undergoing primary implantation surgery.Capsular contracture is the most common complication following implant- based breast surgery and is one of the most common reasons for reoperation" capsular contracture is graded into 4 levels depending on its severity.Baker grade i: the breast is normally soft and looks natural; baker grade ii: the breast is a little fi rm but looks normal; baker grade iii: the breast is firm and looks abnormal; baker grade iv: the breast is hard, painful, and looks abnormal.Patients should also be advised that additional surgery might be needed in cases where pain and/or firmness are severe (baker grades iii or iv) and that capsular contracture may happen again after additional surgeries.Correction of capsular contracture may require surgical removal or release of the capsule, or removal and possible replacement of the implant itself.Capsular contracture: normally, capsules of collagen fibers form as an immune response around a foreign body, such as a breast implant, tending to isolate it.Capsular contracture occurs when the capsule tightens and squeezes the implant.This can cause the implant to turn rigid (from slightly firm to quite hard) and the firmest ones can cause varying degrees of discomfort, pain and palpability.In addition to the firmness, capsular contracture can result in a deformed breast, visible surface wrinkling and/or displacement of the implant.Detection of breast cancer by mammography may also be more difficult.Capsular contracture may be more common following infection, hematoma, and seroma, and the chance of it happening may increase over time.Capsular contracture occurs more commonly in patients undergoing revision surgery than in patients undergoing primary implantation surgery.Capsular contracture is a risk factor for implant rupture, and it is the most common reason for reoperation in augmentation and reconstruction patients.¿ in addition, a review of the device history record was conducted, and it was concluded that there were no deviations in the manufacturing process of this device that would have caused or contributed to this incident.When the investigation process is completed, the applicable findings will be included in a supplemental medwatch.At establishment labs, we are committed to patient safety and continually evaluate the performance of our devices through post market surveillance of reported complaints & adverse events.
