Due to manufacturing issue, the product is labeled as 3:1 ratio, but the ridge pattern is a 1.5:1 ratio. The problem may lead to minor tissue damage or additional unplanned graft if deemed necessary.
Skin grafts thin and non-uniform when using the affected blades. The issue would be identified at the time of use and may result in the need for additional harvests to adequately cover the area
When inflating/deflating a single bladder, both bladders could potentially inflate/deflate due to a leak between the bladders.
