Mentor Corporation · Santa Barbara, CA United States

Mentor thrives under the theory that, while you might not be able to judge a book by its cover, you can at least try to make the cover as appealing as possible. The company produces cosmetic surgery products including Memory Gel breast implants, Prevelle Silk tissue expanders, and facial implants. Additional products include the Byron line of ultrasonic liposuction systems that remove unwanted fat and a line of post-surgery clothing called Caromed. Its Mentor Solutions software helps busy plastic surgeons manage their practices. Mentor's products are sold through its international sales force; it has operations in the US, Europe, and Africa. Johnson & Johnson purchased the company in 2009. To read the full description, subscribe now.
