Breast implant manufacturers challenge French ban
This article was originally published in Clinica
Executive Summary
French breast implant manufacturers met representatives of the French Economics Ministry on May 29th to discuss the repercussions of the May 17th ban on the manufacture, import, sale and implantation of all non-saline breast prostheses, unless they have French premarket approval (homologation). Industry is particularly concerned that the ban unnecessarily covers the export of breast implants to countries where their products have been approved and that this could be financially damaging.
