The Mentor Standard Advantage
Saline Breast Implant Limited Warranty
The Mentor Standard Advantage is FREE of charge to all patients who are implanted with Mentor saline-filled breast implant products. The Mentor Standard Advantage coverages apply to all Mentor saline breast implants that are implanted in the United States and Puerto Rico after May 1, 2005.1
Unlike simple replacement programs, our Standard Advantage Limited Warranty is backed by an annual financial reserve and terms that are noncancelable from the time of the original breast implantation. This assures you that when coverage is needed, it is present and available.
Here's what you get with your automatic enrollment in the Mentor Standard Advantage Limited Warranty:
Lifetime Product Replacement 2
10 Years of Financial Assistance from the Date of Implant:
- 10 years and up to $1200 financial assistance for operating room, anesthesia, and surgical charges not covered by insurance from the date of implant.
