Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Surgeon was interviewed after the surgery, and they agreed that they were using an angle that was too steep for the initial insertion.The surgeon was instructed when the buckling was noticed, to replace the damaged implant and was offered a new implant by the intrinsic representative present at the time of the operation.They decided to continue with using the damaged implant which caused it to fail by having the mesh barrier (seal) to detach from the anchor.This failure of the device was due to improper technique initially and continuing to use a damaged implant.There was no patient harm associated with this adverse event.
