Biomet Recalls Disposable Devices

October 28, 2010
Biomet Sports Medical has initiated a recall of certain lots of its disposable coring bone trephine and disposable dowel harvest tube in the UK. The devices, which are used in autogenous bone procedures, are fitted with end caps that may leave a residue on the instruments, according to an alert by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. Biomet is not aware of any adverse effects and is conducting laboratory investigations to confirm the safety of the devices.
