Mentor provides a complete source for some of the finest silicone and saline breast implants, along with other products associated with breast augmentation and breast reconstruction. Offering many options,since each patient has their own individual wants and needs, making it easy for you to meet every challenge with the confidence that the outcome will be just as you envision it.
MemoryShape® Breast Implants are the newest addition to Mentors family of implants. Unlike round breast implants, MENTOR® MemoryShape® Breast Implants are teardrop shaped, meaning they’re thinner at the top and gently slope to a fuller projection point near the implant’s bottom to mimic the silhouette of a natural breast. Each MemoryShape® Implant features SILTEX® Texture, a gentle imprinting process designed to help keep your implants in place.
MemoryGel® Breast Implants were FDA approved for women in the US in 2006, after decades of research and testing, – an important advancement in the field of breast augmentation. MemoryGel® Breast Implants come in either a textured or smooth surface shell and are available in a wide range of sizes and profiles to fit your body. Here’s why they are such a popular choice for both surgeons and patients:
- MemoryGel® Breast Implants are FDA approved
- Each implant is filled with Mentor’s cohesive gel that holds together uniformly and retains a natural give that better resembles breast tissue
- The implants have a set-fill volume for predictable results
- MemoryGel® Breast Implants come in three projection options: Moderate, Moderate Plus, High and Ultra High
- Profile to give you just the look you want
- They come in two shell surface options: smooth and textured
Saline Breast Implants come in a variety of shapes, sizes, profiles, and surface textures. They are filled with a saltwater solution that is very similar to the fluid that makes up most of the human body. Saline implants are inserted into the body without fluid, and then filled during surgery through a fill-tube to the desired size. When the fill-tube is removed, the implant automatically seals itself.
- These implants are filled with a saltwater solution similar to the fluid that makes up most of the human body
- Saline implants have a slightly firmer feel than gel-filled implants
- They have a flexible fill volume that can be adjusted by the surgeon during the procedure
- You can choose from three projection options: Classic, Moderate Plus, and High Profile; and two shell surface options: smooth and textured
FAQs
What are MemoryGel® Implants?
MemoryGel® is the brand name for all of Mentor’s round silicone gel-filled breast implants. These are the same Implants Mentor has been studying in the Adjunct Study since 1992 for reconstruction and revision patients. MemoryGel® Breast Implants contain a proprietary cohesive gel formulation that acts as a unit rather than a liquid, and holds together uniformly.
What is a post-approval study, and why did the FDA mandate that Mentor conduct it?
A post-approval study is a clinical study or other investigation included in the Pre-market Approval (PMA) order to gather specific information to address precise study objectives about an approved medical device. FDA has concluded that both Mentor and Allergan need to provide additional long-term safety data on gel-filled breast implants. Mentor’s post-market study is an effort to continue to evaluate the product over the long-term. The MemoryGel® Post-Approval Study will include approximately 43,000 women and will evaluate their health over 10-years through annual questionnaires and three physician visits. Mentor takes its commitment to science and the health and safety of its patients seriously. To that end, Mentor has agreed to conduct one of the largest device post-market studies in US history.
