It has come to our attention that Smith & Nephew Endoscopy has issued a product recall regarding eleven lots of Tendon Stripper. According to the local supplier, Hong Kong is affected.
The material of shaft tip (casting) does not meet with the manufacturer's specification, which could result in rusting of the Tendon Strippers. This condition could make the device difficult to clean and therefore challenging to adequately sterilize.
If you are in possession of the affected product, please contact your supplier for necessary actions.
