Reason for recall
This is an expansion of the June 2013 recall of NexGen Micro components. Five (5) additional instruments have been identified that are associated only with the NexGen Micro components. There is the potential for these devices to be inadvertently utilized during surgery, resulting in a delay. The associated implants would not be available due to the previous recall.
