• Open, ClassifiedProcess control

  MENTOR Saline-Filled Breast Implants are constructed from room temperature vulcanized silicone elastomer, made of polydimethylsiloxane. Surgeons inflate the silicone elastomer shell to the desired size with sterile isotonic saline before implantation. The implants are available with SILTEX Textured or smooth surface shells. Each implant is supplied sterile with a disposable fill tube and reflux valve.

  Due to a manufacturing issue, Implant may have a potentially weakened area on the base patch portion of the implant which may cause leakage/deflation of the affected device.
