Plain-English summary

Stryker Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG is recalling MEDPOR Titan OFW MTB Right 1.0mm implants (Catalog number 81032, UDI 07613252084334). A total of 74 units of this craniofacial implant were distributed worldwide and throughout the United States. The recall was initiated following discovery of a manufacturing defect in one of the distributed units.
