Medline recalls specific sterile procedural trays due to risk of blades puncturing packaging. Affected items include breast biopsy packs and laparotomy packs with certain lot numbers.
Sterile blades within sterile kits have the potential for the blade to puncture the outer foil layer of the sterile packaging.
Medline is recalling certain sterile procedural trays that may have blades puncturing the outer foil layer of the packaging. This could lead to contamination of the sterile contents during medical procedures.
