The Mentor Silicone Breast Implant Sizer is a sterile, resterilizable medical device designed for temporary intraoperative use to help surgeons assess and select the appropriate breast implant shape and volume prior to permanent implantation. The sizer mimics the look and feel of a silicone gel-filled breast implant, featuring a smooth silicone elastomer shell filled with silicone gel that provides elasticity and integrity. It is used during breast augmentation or reconstruction procedures to simulate implant size and profile, thereby aiding surgical accuracy and patient satisfaction. These sizers are intended exclusively for sizing and not for permanent implantation. The device can be sterilized and reused multiple times, typically up to ten sterilization cycles.
