Synthes is recalling its Synex II Central Body components, warning that this spinal implant could collapse, according to a release from Synthes.
The company voluntarily ordered the Class 1 recall, meaning the products could pose an imminent hazard to health in patients, on Sept. 14.
Synthes said it took action after receiving six reports of patients suffering moderate to severe symptoms 6-15 months after implantation.
