Executive Summary
Proestética Aesthetic Medical Supplies, the exclusive Argentinean distributor of the recently banned silicone breast implants made by Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP) of France, has been ordered to produce follow-up reports of the product as a safety precaution. While Argentina's medical technology regulatory body, ANMAT, has so far not had any record of adverse events involving the controversial implants, it requested the follow-up from Proestética in order to confirm the situation.
