Horizon® Microclip™ Titanium Ligating Clips with Tape

Teleflex is initiating this voluntary recall because the clip cartridges for the affected product is missing a key feature that restricts the application of the clip to the applier. With this step feature missing on the cartridge, the clip is mounted in a more variable position, allowing the clips to load farther back in the clip applier jaw grooves. This may potentially result in inappropriate or inadequate clip application to vascular structures. Additionally, this introduces a further risk to the patient whereby the tips of the applier may project further past the tissue to be  ligated, potentially risking injury to other distal anatomical structures.

Recall start date: May 2, 2023
