FDA Panel Recommends Approval of Inamed's Saline Breast Implants

The FDA Advisory Panel on general and plastic surgery has recommended FDA approval of Inamed Corp.'s premarket approval (PMA) application for saline-filled silicone breast implants, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

Inamed (Santa Barbara, CA) will be working with the FDA to resolve specific label and other comments or conditions that the agency might have.

The same panel also recommended approval of Mentor Corp.'s PMA application for saline breast implants (see story.)
