Stryker recalls End Cap T2 Tibia +10 mm implants (catalog 18220010S) due to potential blister pack seal failure, risking contamination during surgery.
Seal integrity of the blister pack may be compromised and sterility cannot be assured
Stryker is recalling End Cap T2 Tibia +10 mm implants (catalog number 18220010S) because the blister pack may not seal properly, which could lead to contamination during surgery. This is a serious risk for patients undergoing orthopedic procedures.

Patients who received this specific implant during surgery are at risk. Surgeons and medical facilities using these implants for bone fixation are most affected.
Check for the catalog number 18220010S on the implant packaging. This product was sold with lot numbers K020795 or K020796.
