The surgeon was repairing an umbilical hernia and tried to take an xb c-10 cut down to approximately 7 cm in diameter down a 5mm trocar using a laparoscopic grasper.The grasper/cut down xb c-10 got stuck part way down.Upon removing the grasper/xb c-10, the xb c-10 was torn in half.He requested another xb c-10 and completed the procedure without incident.We were contacted to replace the torn xb c-10 which was done.The torn xb c-10 was forwarded so we could examine the tear.The rough edge of the tear demonstrated evidence of excessive force placed on the material.
