What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a structural defect (deformation, cracking) in a medical implant, which aligns with the rubric criteria for 'Severe' severity.

Plain-English summary

Stryker Craniomaxillofacial Division is recalling MEDPOR BARRIER Sheets, which are used for non-weight-bearing craniofacial reconstruction and repair. The recall involves 1,051 units distributed worldwide, including in the United States and various international markets.

The recall was initiated because the implants may deform, have insufficient mechanical stability, lose barrier adhesion, or crack and break during intra-operative use. These defects pose a risk of implant damage and failure during surgical procedures.

Healthcare providers and patients who have received these specific implants should contact Stryker for further instructions on the recall and potential replacement or removal of the devices.
