Nextremity Solutions Recalls InCore Lapidus Disposable Kits Due to Drill Bushing Defect

Nextremity Solutions is recalling 123 units of InCore Lapidus Disposable Kits because a drill bushing defect may prevent surgeons from completing the intended procedure.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the source text describes a procedural failure (inability to complete surgery) rather than a direct physical injury or death, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.

Plain-English summary

Nextremity Solutions is recalling 123 units of the InCore Lapidus Disposable Kit 28mm Right (Part Number: IC-LAP-28R). The product is a three-part construct intended for internal fixation for First Metatarsocuneiform arthrodesis.

The recall was initiated because the product could potentially contain an undersized inner diameter in the 40mm drill bushing. This defect may result in the drill bit not passing through the drill bushing, which could cause the surgeon to be unable to complete the surgical procedure as intended.

The affected units were distributed to Alabama, Alaska, California, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. The specific lot number is 168B29619B and the UDI is 00817701020875. Healthcare providers and patients should contact Nextremity Solutions for further instructions regarding the recall.
