Tissium Coaptium Connect nerve repair device recalled for shelf life

The labeled 36-month shelf life for the Coaptium Connect nerve repair device is not supported by real-time data, and the devices will be relabeled with a 26-month shelf life. Using the device past its validated shelf life may cause it to break during surgery, which would leave it unusable. In the worst case, a revision surgery could be needed.
