3M is recalling medium surgery drapes with incise film (REF 1060NS) because the adhesive is hard to remove without damaging the product and has caused skin injuries. This affects healthcare workers using the drapes during surgery.
The adhesive on the drape's liner is difficult to remove without damaging the product, which can lead to skin injuries. This happens because the adhesive is too strong and causes irritation or cuts when it sticks to skin.
Healthcare workers using these drapes in general surgery are most at risk. Patients and staff handling the drapes during procedures may experience skin injuries.
Check for the product code REF 1060NS on the drape. Affected lots include 33J7AA through 33K9FK. These drapes are used in general surgery procedures.
If you have skin injuries from the adhesive, stop using the drape immediately.
Replace the affected drape with a new one from 3M Healthcare.
