Biomet recalls specific JUGGERLOC SLOTTED REAMER implants due to packaging that may not seal properly, risking infection during surgery. Affected items include 6MM, 7MM, and 8MM models with certain lot numbers.
Packaging of various implants may not have sufficient adhesion on all sides, leading to loss of sterile barrier integrity. Use of product poses risk of infection, leading to surgical intervention, and/or extension of surgery to find another part.
