The ethical values of Laboratories ARION naturally leads our company to express our full support to the patients and families who fear the consequences of the overwhelming surgical events.
We regret this situation and deplore the unfavourable image that it presents to the general public and professionals. This image is justified, but it is also extremely damaging to the entire profession and upstanding laboratories such as ours.
Consequently, Laboratoires ARION wish to reassure the patients and surgeons about the quality of their products.
Since 1994, our company, which is located in the SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS technopole in France, has been developing a full range of breast implants that meet the expectations and physiological characteristics of patients and provide concrete solutions to surgeons’ demands.
Since our company’s inception, the rigour of our manufacturing process and controls, the quality of our partners and the traceability of our products, have enabled LABORATOIRES ARION to design and produce high-quality implants that are in strict compliance with the European standards and regulations in force.
This quest for innovation and our standards of quality make it possible for our company to ensure the excellence of its various ranges of implants for aesthetic or reconstructive surgery.
Our continued efforts to provide quality implants while preserving the necessary aesthetic results expected by patients, has led our company to use a FDA approved silicone gel for long-term implants and medical purposes from the international reference and NUSIL TECHNOLOGY exclusively for our entire silicone gel range.
The burdensome surgical events in recent months confirms the technical choices of our company and reaffirms our quest for high standards in order to continue, in the short and long term, to offer a full range of breast implants in compliance with European standards to surgeons and their patients and concretely respond to the patients’ questions and concerns:
- either pre-filled with Silicone gel: Monobloc® - Silicone SoftOne ® breast implants
- or, a range that is pre-filled with a biodegradable hydrogel, and is perfectly biocompatible. Our reference range of implants BIO: Monobloc®-Hydrogel CMC, advised as preferential by our laboratory since 1994.
Faced with a situation that is worrisome for patients, Laboratoires ARION puts forward its innovation program, recognised research, and development, high-tech production facilities, extensive testing for quality assurance, as well as a warranty programme, and worldwide monitoring of our implants that ensure the highest quality and safety of our breast implants.
Laboratories ARION are audited and evaluated by a European notified body to ensure continued compliance of its implants and guarantee the EC certificate.
Strict application of these procedures means that our ARION range of implants are made in a strictly controlled environment to ensure the rigour of our production and the quality of each ARION breast implant.
Laboratoires ARION is eager to provide its professional bodies, as well as AFSSAPS and the Ministry of Health with the most appropriate information for the benefit of patients and their surgeons, and is therefore providing links on its web site to the information sites of the Agence Française de sécurité sanitaire des produits de Santé (the French Agency for Safety and Health products) and the Société Française de Chirurgie Plastique Reconstructrice et Esthétique (French Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery) .
