Hello ijk-ga,
An article on breast implants traces the history of Heyer-Schulte:
"Heyer-Schulte began to manufacture gel implants in 1971. In 1974,
they were
acquired by American Hospital Supply. The Heyer-Schulte division of
that company was acquired by Mentor in 1984. In 1985, American
Hospital Supply Corporation was merged into Baxter Healthcare
Corporation. Although Baxter never manufactured breast implants, they
became legally responsible for many of the earlier Heyer-Schulte
implants because of their acquisition of the American Hospital Supply
Corporation."

management of the woman with silicone gel breast implants." (Can J
Plast Surg 2000;8(2):54-67), at 58 [page 5 of PDF file]

I hope that this information is helpful. (Please note: I did not see
the word "Tumen" in conjunction with Heyer-Schulte or breast implants.
If for some reason this word is relevant, and would lead to a
different answer, please let me know in a request for clarification.)
