Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Based on the information provided by the stryker medpor expert and stryker's medical expert, they concurred that the product did not cause or contribute to the reported event, as an infection at a medpor implant site is thought to be caused by either contamination of the implant during the initial surgery, especially from oral mucosa if it is an intraoral approach, or by later contamination through a surgical wound dehiscence or exposure of the implant due to breakdown of the overlying tissue.
