Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluation summary: during visual evaluation of the sample an area of siltex cracking was observed on the posterior view.Within the siltex cracking, a rupture was noted, measuring approximately 0.3 cm.No other anomalies were observed.Siltex cracking is defined as a material separation occurring in the siltex layer and can eventually progress through the shell of siltex devices.Mentor believes that siltex cracking is ultimately a result of high stresses caused by acute folds in the shell of siltex breast implants.No further investigation will be conducted on this complaint as there are no indication that the issue found is related to the manufacturing process.It is most likely that the siltex cracking was created due of high stresses caused by acute folds which resulting in a tear at a later date.Manufacturer¿s reference number: (b)(4).
