Boston Scientific Corporation is recalling approximately 141,780 Capio SLIM Suture Capturing Devices because certain lots may not consistently catch the suture after the device is activated. These surgical tools are used by physicians during open surgeries to place stitches, and a failure to capture the suture can lead to longer surgery times or the need for additional medical interventions. Consumers who have undergone surgery involving these devices should consult their healthcare provider if they have concerns.
The device may fail to secure the suture during a surgical procedure, which can lead to delays while the surgeon attempts to correct the issue or potentially require additional medical procedures to ensure the stitches are placed correctly.
