Biomet, Inc. is recalling 98 units of the BIOMET ZipTight Acute AC Joint Implant (Single Ziploop, Model/Catalog Number 904834). The recall was initiated because a specific lot may be missing a slotted button assembly, which is an essential part of the fixation system used for AC joint repair. Healthcare facilities should immediately stop using these implants and contact the manufacturer or their distributor for instructions.
If the slotted button assembly is missing, the implant cannot properly secure the joint, which may lead to surgical delays, the need for alternative devices during a procedure, or potential failure of the joint repair if the defect is not caught before implantation.
