Reported risk: Ethicon is initiating a worldwide recall for Echelon 60mm Endoscopic Linear Cutter Reloads Black (ECR60T) due to the potential for incomplete staple line formation from reload damage during the firing sequence. This may result in insufficient tissue apposition that could require surgical intervention to help achieve and maintain anastomotic integrity.
