Integra LifeSciences is recalling approximately 172,350 units of the CODMAN Disposable Perforator and Craniotomy Kit due to a manufacturing defect. The tools, which are used to drill through the skull during neurosurgery, may have an inadequate weld that could cause the product to break or come apart while being used by a surgeon. While no injuries have been reported to date, this voluntary recall was initiated to prevent potential surgical complications or delays.
The cranial perforator may disassemble during surgery due to a weak weld. If the device breaks apart while in use, it could lead to surgical delays or pose a risk of injury to the patient during delicate brain procedures.
Quantity: 170,510 units
