[edit] A return?
Whats is the status on the return of these implants? Is the FDA going to continue to review it? What has to be done for them to return to the American market?
(response from Rusty0101) - a sI understand it, the FDA decision was essentially 'final' regarding this procedure. i.e. they are not likely to review the decision, as the decision was based upon the obsservation that the results of the procedure did not provide what they determined was a healthy condition for the paitient. I suspect that if someone was able to show them that the results were healthy, and did not require ongoing medical support, they might take the decision under advisement for review. I would suspect that such a review would not be started while the starlets of the porn industry who have had the procedure are still demonstrating additional growth. Alternatively if it can be shown that the procedure results in a stable result that does not continue growing at some point, and that point is acceptable to the general population (the average parent would be comfortable with their child's teacher having had this procedure as an example) they might consider reviewing the decision. I wouldn't recommend holding your breath for such a review.

[edit] error?
many of the references I've seen to these implants indicate that the material of the strings is polypropylene, not Polyurethane, Unfortunately I don't see enough information on the relevent wikipedia pages to see if one is a subset of the other, which I suspect one is. One reference is A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon though there are also several other references in adult websites for a few of the women who have these as part of their profession.

[edit] When?
"several years ago" is useless on the page as time marches ever onwards. Needs a year. WLU 20:30, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The String
How is the string built? I'd like to see the fibres, since it's amazing it can absorb fluid. I didn't find anything by googling. Is it just basic Polypropylene melted and formed into a string? Thanks a lot. --91.154.52.137 (talk) 17:49, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
