Recalled Products

Tapered Screw-Vent Implant

Reason

Zimmer Dental is conducting a recall of a single lot of the tapered screw-vent implant, catalog TSV4B11, because the inner vial could be potentially mislabelled as "04.1 x 10mml" instead of "04.1 x 11.5mml". The main label on the outside of the package, the outer vial label, the cap label, and the patient chart label contain the correct information regarding the implant within the package.
