## Intended Use

The intended use of the Hanson Pectoralis Implant is augment or reconstruct the male chest by inserting the implant under the pectoralis muscle usually through a transaxillary incision. The proposed device can also be used for the correction of surface defects resulting from congenital anomalies such as depressions secondary to Poland's Syndrome. This product will be delivered non sterile.

## Device Story

Silicone pectoralis implant designed for male chest augmentation or reconstruction; used to correct congenital defects like Poland's Syndrome. Implant placed in submuscular space via transaxillary incision. Device manufactured from liquid silicone elastomer (LSR 30 and MED 4211); durometer range 5-30 Shore A. Delivered non-sterile; requires sterilization by healthcare provider. Surgeon selects appropriate size/shape based on patient anatomy. Provides physical volume to chest area to address aesthetic or reconstructive needs.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only. Compliance with raw material certifications and physical property specifications (tensile strength, elongation, durometer) verified by manufacturer.

## Technological Characteristics

Silicone elastomer implant; materials: Applied Silicone LSR 30 and Nusil MED 4211 silicone fluid. Polysiloxane chemical composition catalyzed by two-part system. Durometer: 5-30 Shore A. Tensile strength: >600 PSI. Elongation: >400%. Form factor: solid carving blocks/implants. Non-sterile delivery.

## Regulatory Identification

Ear, nose, and throat synthetic polymer material is a device material that is intended to be implanted for use as a space-occupying substance in the reconstructive surgery of the head and neck. The device is used, for example, in augmentation rhinoplasty and in tissue defect closures in the esophagus. The device is shaped and formed by the suregon to conform to the patient's needs. This generic type of device is made of material such as polyamide mesh or foil and porous polyethylene.

#### 510 (k) Summary

# Substantial Equivalence

The Hanson Medical Pectoralis implant is Substantially Equivalent to the Allied Biomedical Pectoralis Implant. The Hanson Pectoralis Implant is made from the same Silicone liquid elastomer materials and manufacturing processes as the predicate device.

#### Intended Use

The intended use of the Hanson Pectoralis Implant is augment or reconstruct the male chest by inserting the implant under the pectoralis muscle usually through a transaxillary incision. The proposed device can also be used for the correction of surface defects resulting from congenital anomalies such as depressions secondary to Poland's Syndrome. This product will be delivered non sterile.

### Labeling

The labeling for this device will comprise a label for the inner package and a label for the outer box. Catalog numbers and sizes will be depicted on the labels. The package insert will contain instructions for use and sterilization. Product promotional literature will merely depict the sizes shapes and material hardness.

#### Physical and Chemical Properties

The physical properties of this device are the same as the predicate device in that the same materials or equivalent materials will be used. These raw materials are the LSR 30 of Applied Silicone and the MED 4211 unrestricted silicone fluid of Nusil Technologies. The durometers or hardness (Shore A) will range from 5 to 30. The appearance is described as clear to slightly opaque. The raw materials for these blocks will be Applied Silicone's LSR series and Nusil Unrestricted MED 4211. Tensile strength from lot to lot average 600 PSI or greater. The percent elongation is over 400 percent. Each lot is certified and tested for compliance to the parameters set for in the raw material certifications for each lot tested by the manufacturer.

The Chemical components of this device are polysiloxanes catalyzed by a two part system. Refer to master files MAF 562 of Applied and MAF 612 of Nusil for complete material characterizations.
