300 KSA cases of faulty implants being probed
By ARAB NEWS

RIYADH: The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) is currently investigating 
more than 300 cases of women in the Kingdom that have undergone breast 
augmentation using silicon implants that were produced by a French company 
called “Poly Implant Prothese” or PIP, which has been shut down in 2010, 
business daily Al-Eqtisadiah found out on Tuesday. 

According to Al-Eqtisadiah resources, this procedure had been performed in 20 
hospitals and clinics around the country. The SFDA also found out during their 
investigations that a local company that works in the field of medical supplies 
and products had imported these silicon implants by express mail from 2006 
until 2009 and had distributed quantities to several hospitals and clinics 
throughout the Kingdom.

Alarming news about the silicon implants produced by this company has created 
global panic and condemnation, since it was discovered that these implants 
could rupture and cause the gel inside to leak into women’s bodies, causing 
great harm and infections.

The SFDA has since collaborated with surgeons and hospitals that have used this 
potentially harmful product on their clients and now offer breast implant 
removal free of charge to those women who had the procedure using these PIP 
implants. 

Dr. Saleh bin Sulaiman Al-Tayyar, executive vice president of the Gaza Medical 
Equipment and Products, said that the authority had implemented a number of 
actions to address the situation, including the establishment of a center to 
receive communications by those women affected, find out the names of medical 
centers and doctors who performed the operations and the period during which 
these procedures were done, and to make sure the type and quality of silicon 
used by surgeons and hospitals that performed these operations. 

Al-Tayyar also said that the SFDA would make sure that faulty implants would be 
replaced with better and safer quality implants to women free of charge, urging 
those who have had the procedure to contact the authority on this email 
account: m...@sfda.gov.sa, or by phone: 014709340.

A local plastic surgeon who asked to remain anonymous informed Arab News that 
many women had already had the implant removal procedure that was made by the 
French company, and that there had been no side effects. He also said that the 
offending silicon was made from a low-grade artificial gel, which has actually 
not yet been proven to cause cancer or not. 

The medical scare started when the French authorities shut down the company 
that produced these silicon implants and arrested its CEO in 2010, after which 
the product was removed from the French market. By then, PIP had already 
exported this faulty product to over 65 countries, 50 percent of which – or 
100,000 implants annually – were sent to South American countries, mainly 
Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and Argentina.
