MENTOR<sup>®</sup> MemoryGel™ & MemoryGel™ Xtra Breast Implants
MENTOR® MemoryGel™ & MemoryGel™ Xtra Breast Implants
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 the patient’s body. Each silicone implant is filled with the Mentor proprietary cohesive gel that holds together uniformly and retains a natural give that better resembles breast tissue.5-7
MENTOR<sup>®</sup> CPX™4 Breast Tissue Expander
MENTOR® CPX™4
Used in breast reconstruction surgery, MENTOR® CPX™4 Breast Tissue Expander is designed to expand primarily in the lower portion of the breast, so the resulting pocket will accommodate the implant and slope like a natural-looking breast. It also has an integral “injection dome” that allows surgeons to add saline solution to the expander and gradually stretch the breast tissue over several months
MENTOR<sup>®</sup> CPG™ Gel Breast Implants
MENTOR® CPG™ Gel Breast Implants
MENTOR® CPG™ Gel Breast Implants are filled with a highly cohesive gel and have a unique, tapered appearance. Unlike round breast implants, CPG™ 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 CPG Implant features SILTEX™ Texture, a gentle imprinting process designed to help keep your implants in place.

Important Safety Information
MENTOR® Breast Implants are indicated for breast augmentation, in women who are at least 18 years old, or for breast reconstruction. Breast implant surgery should not be performed in women with active infection anywhere in their body, with existing cancer or pre-cancer of their breast(s) who have not received adequate treatment for those conditions or who are pregnant or nursing.
There are risks associated with breast implant surgery. Breast implants are not lifetime devices and breast implantation is not necessarily a one-time surgery. The most common complications with MENTOR® MemoryGel™ Breast Implants include re-operation, implant removal, capsular contracture, asymmetry, and breast pain. A lower risk of complication is implant rupture, which is most often silent. The health consequences of a ruptured silicone gel-filled breast implant have not been fully established. Screenings such as mammography, MRI, or ultrasound are recommended after initial implant surgery to assist in detecting implant rupture.
The most common complications with MENTOR® Saline-Filled Implants include re-operation, implant removal, capsular contracture, wrinkling, deflation, asymmetry, and breast pain.
MENTOR® CPX™4 Breast Tissue Expanders can be utilized for breast reconstruction after mastectomy, correction of an underdeveloped breast, scar revision and tissue defect procedures.
These expanders are intended for temporary subcutaneous or submuscular implantation.*
CONTOUR PROFILE™ Tissue Expanders are devices that contain magnetic injection domes and are NOT MRI compatible. Do not use the CONTOUR PROFILE™ Tissue Expander in patients where an MRI may be needed. DO NOT use the CONTOUR PROFILE™ Tissue Expander in patients that have a previously implanted device that could be affected by a magnetic field. The device could be moved by the MRI causing pain or displacement, potentially resulting in a revision surgery. The incidence of extrusion of the expander has been shown to increase when the expander has been placed in injured areas: scarred, heavily irradiated or burned tissue, crushed bone areas or where severe surgical reduction of the area has previously been performed.
Your patient needs to be informed and understand the risks and benefits of breast implants, and provided with an opportunity to consult with you prior to deciding on surgery.
For detailed indications, contraindications, warning and precautions associated with the use of all MENTOR® Implantable Devices, please refer to the Product Insert Data Sheet provided with each product, or review the Important Safety Information provided at https://www.jnjmedicaldevices.com/en-EMEA/mentor.
