Ansell Healthcare Products LLC is recalling approximately 1,889 units of GAMMEX and NOVAPLUS GAMMEX Non-Latex PI Green surgical gloves because some of the sterile pouches were not completely sealed. This defect means the gloves may no longer be sterile, which can lead to infections during medical procedures. These surgical gloves were distributed nationwide across 11 states and internationally to Canada.
A compromised seal on a sterile pouch allows bacteria and other contaminants to enter, potentially causing serious infections for patients or healthcare providers during surgery. While no specific injuries have been reported in this data, a non-sterile glove in a surgical environment poses a significant health risk.
Contact the manufacturer regarding compromised sterile packaging.
