Zimmer Recalls NexGen Knee Implant Instrument

Filed July 15th, 2008 amy

Medical device maker Zimmer Holdings Inc on Monday announced a recall of a surgical instrument used in implanting its NexGen replacement knee product.

On July 1 the FDA was notified that Zimmer would be recalling the recalled knee implant instrument, called the tibial broach impactor, which is used in minimally invasive surgeries, a company spokesman said. Alternative surgical instruments are available for use in the procedure, a Zimmer spokesman reported.

Zimmer said it does not expect the recall to have a material impact on sales.
