  DURING A SURGERY THAT TOOK PLACE ON (B)(6) 2025, THE SURGEON WAS ATTEMPTING TO INSERT A TRIAL INTO THE PATIENT USING THE REEF TA INSERTER AND UPON MALLETING THE TRIAL INTO THE DISC SPACE, IT UNEXPECTEDLY DISLODGED AND MOVED INTO THE DURA. THE SURGEON WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE THE TRIAL USING CURETTES AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS, BUT THE TA REMOVAL TOOL WAS NOT EFFECTIVE AS IT COULD NOT SECURELY GRIP THE BACK OF THE TRIAL. AFTER THE DURAL TEAR, THE SURGEON ATTEMPTED TO LOAD ANOTHER TRIAL, HOWEVER, THE SURGEON WAS ABLE TO DETACH IT BY HAND, INDICATING A POTENTIAL ISSUE WITH THE LOCKING MECHANISM. THIS ISSUE CAUSED A ONE HOUR DELAY WHILE THE SURGEON HAD TO REPAIR THE DURA. CUSTOMER CONFIRMS THE SURGEON FOLLOWED THE APPROPRIATE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE FOR LOCKING THE TRIAL ON THE INSERTER AND THAT THE PATIENT IS DOING WELL AFTER THE SURGERY.
