ACCORDING TO THE REPORTER, THE PRIMARY GRASPER WITH WIRE WAS DETACHED FROM THE TISSUE. THE PHYSICIAN SUCCESSFULLY USED A SECONDARY GRASPER TO PLACE THE WIRE BACK ONTO THE TISSUE. THE TRACTION WAS NOT AS DESIRED; THEREFORE, THE PHYSICIAN USED A SECOND SECONDARY GRASPER TO MAKE A TRIPOD SHAPE WITH WIRE. TRACTION WAS THEN GOOD. AT THE END OF THE PROCEDURE, THE PHYSICIAN ATTEMPTED TO USE GRASPING FORCEPS TO REMOVE THE SECONDARY GRASPERS FROM THE HEALTHY TISSUE. AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS WHERE THE FORCEPS SLIPPED OFF GRASPER BODY, THE PHYSICIAN DETERMINED THAT THEY WOULD PREFER TO JUST LEAVE THE GRASPERS BEHIND RATHER THAN CONTINUE TRYING TO REMOVE IT. TECHNICAL SUPPORT EXPLAINED TO THE PHYSICIAN THAT THE IFU (INSTRUCTION FOR USE) RECOMMENDED TO REMOVE ALL COMPONENTS. FUJI CLUTCH CUTTERS WERE USED TO CUT THE TRACTION WIRE.
