AVID Medical, Inc. has recalled approximately 204 Halyard surgical suture kits, including the Christ Suture Kit, CABG Suture Pack, and Rapides E-Pack. The silicone coating used on the surgical needles in these kits may be defective, which can result in the needles not performing correctly or the coating coming off during a procedure. No incidents or injuries have been reported related to this issue, which affects specific lots distributed in Illinois and Louisiana.
Defective silicone coating can cause surgical needles to drag through tissue or lose their coating during use, potentially leaving silicone particles inside a patient's body or complicating surgical procedures.
