Sydney (dpa) – Australian women with breast implants made by French company Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) learned Thursday that they were no more at risk of ruptures than those with silicone-gel implants from alternative suppliers. Therapeutic Goods Administration head Rohan Hammett said there was “no evidence of increased rupture rate for PIP implants in this country.” The assurance came after the French government recommended the removal of PIP implants. Australian authorities sided with their British counterparts, who said earlier this week that PIP rupture rates were in keeping with rates for other implants.
