On trial against Mentor; Request from Germany refering to saline breast impalnts

[Guest guest]

Greatings from Germany,

my wife Ursula is on a trial against the mentor-breast-implant-

manufactor,dependance Germany.

One of the saline-breast-implants, that was implanted in autum 1999

deflated in winter 2004. Both implants were been replaced by silikone

implants. According to our complaints about the bad performance of

the products, Mentor statet after an examination of the exchanged

implants, that there was an leak (0.3 cm) in the surface of one

implant. The valve was found ok. Mentor " generously " offerd my wife

the deliverance of new implants. Any other appeal to contribute to

the costs of replacements of the implants were rejectetd.

While dealing with the problems I got the impression, that

malefunctions of the Mentor-Products arent a rare exception. As far

as I understand, the FDA made some objections about the procedures

of qualitiy-control during the production-process against Mentor.

So I am wondering if you may could give me some useful informations

on that matter. Do you have any Iinformations about official

measurements (FDA?) against Mentor dealing with the production and

safety of saline-breast-implants, wich was produced 1999? Could you

share this informations with me? In the current trial Mentor-Germany

refused any responsibilities. They also deny, that there were any

complaints about the saline-breast-implants. So we have to present

evidence about the issue. Do you have any advice?

Thank you for your attention. Please excuse my worse englisch.

If you can share documents I will send you the costs for any

copy immediately.

We have to answer in the above reported trial within 3 weeks.

Yours sincerely

Christoph Goeb,

I don't have any info for you about Mentor and their implant

problems but I did want to say that your wife should think about

being reimplanted with silicone. This site is full of women who

have been sickened both by saline and silicone implants. If she

doesn't have symptoms already, she definitely could down the road.

In our opinion, implants are not safe. The best thing she could do

is get the implants out and not be reimplanted. That way she will

never get sick from them. Not everyone gets sick from implants, but

there is no way to tell who will and who won't and we aren't talking

about minor illness. WE are talking about lifedestroying serious

illness that destroys the quality of your life and your

relationships. I pray that your wife decides to for go replaceement

of her implants and gets these out including the entire capsule.

Hugs, Kathy

Welcome Christoph,

Your English is quite good! . . . If you have a

problem with some words, perhaps my husband can help.

He is from Germany.

First . . . I don't know if this is the case with

Mentor, but, at one time, defective implanted, deemed

unacceptable for U.S. women, were shipped overseas!

There is an ongoing criminal investigation of Mentor

for manufacturing problems. . . You should be able to

get the details with a web search. . . Workers were

reported to be hiding defective implants in the

ceiling.

It's long been known that silicone injections are

dangerous. . . Why anyone would make YOU prove that a

leaking implant is safe, is beyond me!

The manufacturer's have been known for dirty tricks,

misinformation and false statements. I wish you luck

in your upcoming trial. . .

Hopefully your wife will decide breast implants aren't

worth the risk . . . If you'll read through the

archives, you'll see case after case of women who have

become ill. They pass most tests, but doctors still

can't find out why. Once they get their implants out

and detox, they start getting much better!

I've been posting many informative articles on the

dangers of silicone . . . hopefully your attorney can

use them to find the information he needs!

If there's anything we can do to help, please let us

know.

Dear Christoph,

The best source of this kind of information would probably come from

Dr. Pierre Blais in Canada. He is an expert on these failed medical

devices, and has much information on the defective qualities of

implants from all makers.

Here is his contact info:

Pierre Blais, PhD

Innoval

496 Westminster Ave.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada KeA 2V1

I am sorry your wife still have implants of any kind. Please watch

carefully for any reactions to the silicone gel implants, which are

dangerous to your wife's health in the long term.

I wish you both the best in prosperity.
