Why it was recalled

There may be a slightly protruding rivet on the distal end of the laparoscopic grasper which has the potential for tissue to catch on it during use and lead to tissue damage.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
