Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that during an anterior cruciate ligament/meniscus surgery, the surgeon stated the deployment of the truespan orthocord implants felt "different" than the normal.It did not click like normal with deployment - the device either made a faint noise to question if the implant deployed or made a loud clunk.The implants deployed even with the unusual sounds; however, the suture loops appeared to be wound together which made tensioning more difficult than normal.The surgeon expressed that he was not sure if he was able to fully tension the implants, or if the suture was bunched together, causing laxity in the repair.There was no patient or user harm reported.There was no significant delay in surgery.All available information has been disclosed.Report 2 of 3 for (b)(4).
