Corneat Vision recalls EverPatch+ permanent scleral reinforcement matrices due to risk of conjunctival wound dehiscence causing early exposure of surgical patches.
Reviewed complaints have identified that conjunctival wound dehiscence may result in early exposure of the surgical patch.
Corneat Vision is recalling EverPatch+ permanent scleral reinforcement matrices after complaints indicate they may cause eye wounds to open, exposing the surgical patch. This could lead to infection or vision issues if not properly sealed.
The EverPatch+ matrices may cause the eye's protective layer to tear, allowing the surgical patch to become exposed. This could lead to infection or vision problems if the exposed area isn't properly protected.
People who have purchased EverPatch+ scleral reinforcement matrices for eye surgery are affected. Those with recent eye surgery are at higher risk due to the potential for wound opening.
Check for EverPatch+ matrices labeled with REF: 1044002, size 1x5.0mm x 8.5 mm Shield or 1x5.0mm x 6.5 mm Rectangle. These were sold with sterile VH202 packaging and have UDI: G16010440020.
Look for the product code REF: 1044002 and UDI: G16010440020 on the packaging.
The recall states that complaints have identified a risk of conjunctival wound dehiscence, so it is not safe to use without the recall remedy.
The recall does not specify a remedy, so contact Corneat Vision directly for guidance.
