Somehow my medical device cards for my breast implants were lost before I received them at the hospital. What is the benefit of having the card? Is there any way to find my serial number or have the card replaced ?
Answer: Breast Implant Device Cards If you ever have a problem with your implants or if you ever have another procedure on your breasts from another plastic surgeon, the device cards hold important information. Keep a copy in an accessible place. Some of my breast revision patients who had their original surgery elsewhere a long time ago can't remember what safe place they've been keeping that card all these years.

Answer: Breast implant device cards Your breast implant device card contains important information regarding the manufacturer, style, and size of your implants along with the unique serial number. This allows you to share these details with your physicians in the future if you require any revision or replacement. The implant device information should be listed on your operative report so a copy of that record would provide the details if you can't obtain the card.
