ConvaTec recalls DuoDERM CGF and Extra Thin Dressings due to potential open seals that could compromise sterility. Affected lots and models listed. Consumers should contact for details.
There is a potential for open seals which can compromise sterility.
ConvaTec is recalling two types of DuoDERM dressings because they might have open seals that could make them less sterile. This could lead to infections if used improperly. The recall affects specific lots and packaging.
Open seals in the dressings could allow bacteria to enter the wound, increasing infection risk. The dressings are designed to stay sterile during use, but the seal issue might compromise that protection.
Patients using these dressings for wounds or burns are most at risk. Healthcare providers and caregivers who apply the dressings may also be affected.
Check for the product names and lot numbers listed in the recall notice. The affected dressings include DuoDERM CGF 10x10cm (1x5PK) and DuoDERM Extra Thin 15x15cm (1x10PK) with specific lot numbers.
Look for the lot numbers listed in the recall notice to determine if your dressings are affected.
The recall indicates a potential risk of open seals that could compromise sterility, so affected dressings should not be used until the issue is resolved.
Check the lot numbers listed in the recall notice: ICC 187660 (Lots 9B02984Y, 9G04308, etc.), ICC 187957 (Lots 9J02859, 9H02226, etc.), and ICC 187955 (Lots 9L01731, 9L04890, etc.).
