Pip made a pre-filled saline implant. The FDA required all implant manufacturers to submit a Pre-Market Approval application in order to make a determination as to what implants were proven safe and effective for continued sale. The FDA Panel did not recommend approval of PIP implants due to the fact that the clinical study submitted by PIP did not have a sufficient number of patients with two years post-surgery. As a result, PIP must cease selling its implants on May 15, 2000.
PIP has applied to the FDA for approval to use PIP implants for deflations, complications such as infection and capsular contracture requiring a second surgery. PIP has also requested the FDA's approval for PIP to conduct a trial which would allow surgeons to use the implants as part of a study.
