Manufacturer Narrative

Medical review of the reported event concluded that it is expected that a wound heals in stages and should be of normal appearance related to the timeframe since the incision was made.A surgical wound should be well approximated without redness, warmth, swelling and/or purulent drainage for the duration of its healing.The expression 'wound concerns' or 'non-healing wound' would imply that the appearance of the wound deviates from what a surgical wound should appear as.It may be red, have drainage, additional pain, warmth and swelling as well as healing time may be delayed.It is noted an i&d (incision & debridement) was performed on the superficial non-healing wound.An i&d procedure can be used to promote the healing process, and this is a common procedure used to treat a non-healing incision site.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
