Andover Healthcare recalls Sterile Co-Flex NL 4" single-use wound dressings due to incomplete packaging seals that may compromise sterility.
Incomplete packaging seal of sterile product
Andover Healthcare is recalling Sterile Co-Flex NL 4" single-use wound dressings because their packaging seals might not close properly. This could let bacteria get inside the dressing, making infections more likely during medical use.
The packaging seal doesn't close completely, which could let bacteria enter the sterile dressing. This might cause infections if the dressing is used on open wounds or injuries.
Patients using this specific wound dressing for medical care are most at risk. Healthcare providers who use the product for single-use applications may also be affected.
