Reported risk: Microline Surgical, inc., has initiated this global voluntary recall which applies to all renew reusable tips (scissors, graspers, and dissectors). This recall is due to a malfunction related to the heat shrink insulation tube that is located immediately proximal to the metal tip. Microline Surgical, has received customer reports that the heat-shrink insulation tube may split during autoclave (sterilization/re-sterilization), and could fall-off during surgery, and if cautery is used, there is potential for burn.
