Reason for recall
Stryker Neurovascular has become aware that some units of Target Nano product do not have the intended stretch resistance. The sutures inside the coil that provide stretch resistance may have been damaged during manufacturing which can lead to an increased occurrence of coil stretching.
Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
