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
