Zimmer Dermatone AN, Model No. 88710100
Reason for recall
Devices may have a loose control bar, which could compromise the ability to control the thickness of the graft. Devices could also have a loose width plate that if undetected, could result in an imperfect, yet still usable graft. Potential risks include harvesting a skin graft of a thickness much greater than intended, described as patient gouged, minor delay of surgery, and sub-optimal (but usable) graft.
