Recall of selected Biomet Endobon® Xenograft Granules due to potential risks of tissue irritation and infection

Asia Implant Support & Services would like to inform healthcare professionals of a voluntary recall of selected Biomet Endobon®Xenograft Granules products as limited results indicated that the product’s cytotoxicity tests did not pass at 36 months (real-time) aging. Implantation of the device with less than 18 months of its shelf life remaining may increase the patient’s risk of soft tissue irritation and infection. Biomet has initiated a recall of all lots supplied with 36 months shelf life. Healthcare professionals are advised to identify and return all affected products to Asia Implant Support & Services. Please refer to the letter for details.
