Stryker (NYSE:SYK) said it is issuing a voluntary recall for a select number of Target Nano neurovascular coil over issues with poor stretch resistance.
The company said sutures inside the coil, which provide stretch resistance, may have been damaged during manufacturing and could lead to an occurrence of coil stretching.
Coil stretching during a procedure would require that the stretched coil be removed and replaced, and the most likely adverse event as a result is prolongation of the procedure.
