Osteotech Recalls Grafton and Xpanse Bone Graft Products Due to Sterility Concerns

Osteotech is recalling multiple lots of Grafton and Xpanse bone graft products because the sterility of the inner pouch surface may be compromised.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device with a potential sterility compromise, which poses a risk of harm (infection) even though no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products.
