Associated
Press Published July 30, 2005
WASHINGTON -- After a
13-year ban, silicone-gel filled breast implants are another step closer to
returning to the market.
Following the recommendations
of an advisory panel, the Food and Drug Administration told Mentor Corp.
that its implants can be approved under certain conditions.
"We are very encouraged by
this communication from the FDA, and view this letter as a positive sign for
women and their surgeons that another option will soon be available," said
Joshua H. Levine, president of the company based in Santa Barbara, Calif.
Other reactions were mixed.
