On (b)(6) 2020, the product investigation was completed.Device investigation summary: during evaluation of the device, an area of siltex cracking was observed on the posterior view.A tear was also noted within the siltex cracking measuring approximately 0.5 cm.The evaluation determined that the rupture is consistent with a siltex cracking.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 shell of siltex breast implants.The manufacturing records were reviewed and the manufacturing criteria were met prior to the release of this lot.Manufacturer's reference number: (b)(4).
