Event Description

It was reported that during a laparoscopic repair of a recurrent incarcerated incisional hernia using a bard/davol ventrio st mesh (device #1) and the bard/davol sorbafix fixation device (device #2), the fixation device deployed two fasteners at once and then would not deploy at all. A fastener was fired through the entire mesh and the head broke off of the fastener and the fastener fell into the abdomen. All loose pieces were retrieved. Another sorbafix was used to complete the case. The surgeon is an experienced user of the device. There was no delay to the procedure and no patient injury was reported. As the problem reported resulted in a hole in the ventrio st mesh material there was some compromise to the implants adhesion barrier. Although this is unlikely to result in patient harm, there is a potential incremental risk to the patient and an mdr is being filed to report the malfunction.
