WARNINGS
Titanium alloys contain metals which may
stimulate allergic hyper-sensitive responses by the
immune system. The metals used are titanium,
aluminum, vanadium and nickel (Ti, Al, V and Ni).
When sensitivity is anticipated, appropriate pre-
operative testing should be conducted.
Incomplete insertion or poor bone quality may
result in anchor pullout.
Excessive tension may overload the anchor
or suture.
As a braided suture, which is essentially absorbed
over 1.5 to 2.5 years, the PANACRYL suture may
act as a foreign body over an extended period
of time. The surgeon should consider whether
use of an absorbable suture is appropriate in
specific situations such as in wounds that carry
an increased risk of infection or contamination.
Users should be familiar with surgical procedures
and techniques involving absorbable and
non-absorbable suture before employing
ORTHOCORD suture for wound closure, as risk
of wound dehiscence may vary with the site of
application and the suture material used.
This product is for single-use only. It has not
been designed to be re-used/re-sterilized.
Reprocessing may lead to changes in material
characteristics such as deformation and material
degradation which may compromise device
performance. Reprocessing of single use
instruments can also cause cross-contamination
leading to patient infection. These risks may
potentially affect patient safety.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
