Zimmer Surgical Inc is recalling 1,337 units of Zimmer Air Dermatome and Zimmer Dermatome AN devices because they may have a misaligned thickness control bar. These devices are used in surgical procedures to harvest skin for grafting, and the misalignment could lead to inaccurate skin thickness measurements. Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled devices immediately and contact the manufacturer or their distributor to arrange for a return, replacement, or correction.
A misaligned control bar can cause the device to cut skin at a thickness that does not match the setting selected by the surgeon. This defect can lead to incorrect tissue removal, potentially resulting in patient injury or compromised surgical outcomes.
