Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information: lot number; the returned rongeur was functionally and visually evaluated.When the handles were actuated, the jaw opened and closed as expected.However, the upper jaw was found to be slightly bent so the teeth did not align.The cause is likely attributed to damage from use or handling.A review of the manufacturing records did not identify any issues which would have contributed to this event.
