Stryker recalls Nasopore Ex Firm and Forte nasal dressings with potential sterility seal breaches. Affected items have specific catalog numbers and lot dates. Consumers should check packaging for blister seal bubbles.
There is a potential for blister seals on the product to present a bubble on the seal area of the packaging. This seal acts as a sterile barrier and, in this event, indicates that the sterility seal has been breached.
Stryker is recalling two types of nasal dressings due to a risk that the sterility seal on the packaging may bubble, indicating a breach in the sterile barrier. This could lead to infection if the dressing is used after the seal is compromised.
The blister seal on the packaging is designed to maintain sterility. If it forms a bubble, it means the seal has been breached, potentially allowing contaminants to enter the dressing. This could increase infection risk if the dressing is used after the seal is compromised.
People who own or use Nasopore Ex Firm 8cm fragmentable nasal dressings or Nasopore Forte plus 8cm with the specified catalog numbers and lot dates are affected. Those with open wounds or sensitive nasal areas may be at slightly higher risk.
