Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation, Inc. is recalling 18 units of DBX Demineralized Bone Matrix Putty (Model 038100) because the packaging is incorrectly labeled as 10cc, while the actual fill volume is only 1cc. This putty is used by surgeons to treat bone defects caused by surgery or traumatic injury. The significant discrepancy in volume means a surgeon may not have enough material during a procedure, potentially causing the surgery to take longer than expected as they wait for additional supply.
The incorrect labeling can lead to a surgical delay if the medical team discovers there is insufficient bone matrix putty available mid-procedure. Prolonged surgery increases the duration of anesthesia and the overall risk to the patient during the operation.
