Mentor MemoryShape Breast Implant Study

Updated on: June 23, 2016

Objective:

Demonstrate safety and effectiveness of Mentor's MemoryShape® Breast Implants (known as Contour Profile Gel Mammary Prosthesis internationally) in women who are undergoing primary augmentation, primary reconstruction, or revision.

Design:

  • Multicenter
  • Non-masked, open label
  • Two year data submitted to FDA as part of the Premarket Application
  • Follwing FDA approval, follow up data collected: Rheumatic Disease Diagnosis, QoLs, silent rupture with MRI, and Adverse Events up to 10 years annually

Population:
  • Total subject population - 95
  • Population reflective of the target subject population with respect to indication

Enrollment numbers by indication:
Augmentation: 570
Reconstruction: 190
Total number of Investigators: up to 60
Total number of surgical sites: up to 100

Study Device: Mentor Siltex Contour Profile Gel Mammary Prosthesis

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject is Genetic female and is at least 18 years old
  • A candidate for:
    Primary breast augmentation (for general breast enlargement)
    Primary breast reconstruction (for cancer, trauma, surgical loss of breast or congenital deformity)
    Revision surgery (previous augmentation or reconstruction with silicone-filled or saline-filled implants)
    Signs the Informed Consent
    Agrees to return device to Mentor if explant necessary
    Agrees to comply with follow-up procedures, including returning for all follow-up visits

Exclusion Criteria
  • Subject is pregnant
  • Has nursed a child within three months of study enrollment
  • Been implanted with any silicone implant other than breast implants
  • Confirmed diagnosis of rheumatic disease
  • Currently has a condition that could compromise or complicate wound healing (except reconstruction subjects)
  • Subject in augmentation cohort and has diagnosis of active cancer of any type, except low-grade non-metastasizing skin cancer
  • Infection or abscess anywhere in the body
  • Demonstrates tissue characteristics which are clinically incompatible with implant (e.g. tissue damage resulting from radiation, inadequate tissue, or compromised vascularit)
  • Possesses any condition, or is under treatment for any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator and/or consulting physician(s), may constitute an unwarranted surgical risk.
  • Anatomic or physiologic abnormality which could lead to significant postoperative adverse events
  • Demonstrates characteristics that are unrealistic/unreasonable with the risks involved with the surgical procedure
  • Premalignant breast disease without subcutaneous mastectomy.
  • Untreated or inappropriately treated breast malignancy, without mastectomy
