Johnson & Johnson company and breast aesthetics brand Mentor Worldwide gained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the MENTOR MemoryGel BOOST breast implant, for breast augmentation in women at least 22 years of age and women of all ages undergoing breast reconstruction.
There are many implant options currently available, but surgeons cite the need for an implant with better form stability to shape the breast without sacrificing a soft, natural feel.
"Our commitment to innovation is driven, first and foremost, by the needs of our customers and patients, and providing them with the highest quality products to achieve their desired outcome," Lori Tierney, worldwide president of Mentor told the press. "With this pivotal addition to our MemoryGel portfolio, we are thrilled to provide a meaningful range of options to meet surgeon objectives and patient preferences, beyond what is currently available in the breast aesthetics market."
MemoryGel BOOST combines Mentor’s highly cohesive gel, innovative implant shell design, and precision fill ratio. The combination allows increased form stability to shape the breast.
"Through science-based design and innovation, we are able to offer both increased form stability and a natural feel in the same product," said Krasimira Hristov, director of R&D, Mentor. "The MemoryGel BOOST Breast Implant is truly a unique innovation that satisfies an unmet need and expands the MemoryGel product line."
