While use in a cabg case the surgeon was using the aortic punch and the instrument was slightly jammed/stuck on the tissue of the aorta when closed.The surgeon was able to dislodge and open then punch with no harm but was concerned about its structure for future use.It has not happened in the last 2 months and may have been a certain box that was having this issue.They did not have the correct lot for these aortic punches used.They also told me they check and try the punches prior to use in a case.
