It was reported that there was an intraoperative issue with the sterile scalpfix devices. During a craniotomy on (b)(6) 2018, the scalpfix reloads were noted as jamming. After every second clip was dispensed, the magazine jammed. The surgeon requested the non-disposable gun for application and the issue again occurred; a second disposable product was also opened. There was a delay in surgery of 20 minutes due to the malfunction. There was no other intervention required. Additional information has been requested.
