Silex Medical recalls Dolphin Nose Grasper laparoscopic instruments with exposed shaft areas due to incomplete insulation. Affected models include 5860020 with specific serial numbers and lot numbers. Contact for return or repair options.
Insulation on the tube did not extend fully to the proximal end of the shaft on the instrument, leaving an exposed (not insulated) area of the shaft closer to the rotator wheel.
