Sterile Barrier Breach of Breather Pouch may cause infection or vision loss for ophthalmic procedures in cases where there is direct patient contact
Covidien is recalling certain Monosof sutures because the sterile packaging may breach, risking infection or vision loss during eye surgery. This affects specific product models sold with particular lot numbers.
The sutures' sterile barrier pouch may breach during use, allowing contaminants to enter the surgical site. This could lead to infections or vision damage if the sutures come into contact with the patient's eyes.
Healthcare professionals and patients undergoing ophthalmic procedures who use the recalled sutures are at risk. The most vulnerable are those with direct patient contact during surgery.
Check for product model numbers like CN-724, CN-791, or SN-59 on the packaging. The recall includes specific lot numbers such as D1B2528Y, D1L1776Y, and D2D2350Y.
