Ch5916-3 mis debakey forcep str - would stick shut during case, would not release when loosening pressure on handle.After cleaning/sonicing they still do not release well.Have to manually pull jaws apart.The surgeon stated that he felt the patient did not do as well due to the problems that occurred with the instrumentation.The scheduled procedure was to repair the valve.The repair did not hold, so tried to rework the ring, and ended up replacing the valve.The surgeon struggle with the opening and closing of instruments the entire case.This resulted in the patient being under anesthesia for a prolonged period of time and possibly an unnecessary procedure.
