What was recalled

5 mm Apple-Hunt Secondary Cannula/Pyramidal Tip Trocar - extended length (5 count); Model Number 900-840 Product Usage: The Apple-Hunt Secondary Cannulas are indicated for use in laparoscopic surgical procedures to provide a pathway for the introduction of endoscopic surgical instruments and allow for maintenance of pneumoperitoneum. For uninhibited laparoscopic access, the Apple-Hunt Cannula/Trocar provides greater instrument maneuverability while maintaining an airtight seal -with no bulky external valves, fittings, or housings. The ergonomic trocar design is simple to use and features a smooth cannula/trocar transition for easier sleeve insertion and reduced risk of patient injury.
