Stryker Corporation has recalled 15 units of specialized medical devices, including the Flyte surgical hood, cement delivery needles, and lesion-directing cannulas, because these products were distributed to customers after their expiration dates. Using expired medical equipment can lead to compromised sterility, material degradation, or reduced device performance during critical medical procedures. These devices were distributed across Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, and Michigan. Consumers should immediately identify if they have any of the affected lot numbers and contact Stryker or their healthcare provider for instructions.
Expired medical devices may no longer be sterile or may fail to perform as intended during surgery or treatment, potentially leading to infections, procedural delays, or ineffective treatment for patients. While no specific injuries were reported, the loss of product integrity due to age poses a moderate risk during invasive procedures.
