Breast implants unbanned from Canada

After 13 years or partially banning the use of silicones for breast implants is finally over. Canada had brought in a voluntary moratorium on the implants in 1992 and turned it into an effective ban in 1993 by saying they would not be allowed on the market without new clinical studies. Health Canada granted licenses to two U.S. companies, Mentor Corp. and Inamed Corp., a unit of Allergan Inc. to market their implants in Canada. The two firms had already received conditional approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but are waiting for a final go-ahead to begin selling the devices in the United States. So this means more big breasted women will be seen walking again.
