CORIN MEDICAL, LTD. is recalling 341 units of the Apex Knee System because the nylon packaging material has aged, leading to a loss of seal integrity in some pouches. This recall involves multiple model numbers in the KC series. Because the packaging barrier may be breached, the sterility of the surgical implants cannot be guaranteed, which could lead to medical complications.
If the packaging material loses its integrity, the sterile knee implant could become contaminated before surgery. Using a non-sterile implant increases the risk of serious post-operative infections or complications for the patient.
Recall initiated due to age of nylon packaging material causing loss of pouch integrity.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
