In addition to Stryker’s recalled hip replacement devices, Rejuvenate and ABG II, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned the public about the company’s two medical devices named Neptune 1 Silver and Neptune 2 Ultra Waste, according to media reports. These two medical suctions are used to collect and remove liquid surgical wastes and smoke during procedures that use laser or other electrical devices. The FDA warned that if these devices are incorrectly used, it may cause hemorrhage or cause damage to muscle, soft tissues or vital organs, which may lead to serious health complications. Many recipients across the United States have filed lawsuits against Stryker for injuries they have suffered, and the number of lawsuits is expected to increase as more device failures are reported.
