EUCOMED statement on PIP breast implant incidents
Brussels, 9 January 2012 – The European medical technology industry association Eucomed notes with great concern recent press reports that the French firm Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP) may have violated the regulations by using unapproved industrial-grade silicone in some of its implantable products and by allegedly falsifying or withholding documents. If these or other allegations are confirmed, Eucomed strongly condemns PIP’s behaviour and breach of trust. Patient safety, public confidence, and ethical behaviour should always be the top priorities of any organisation active in the healthcare industry.
