C P Medical is recalling approximately 585 boxes of various brands of Monofilament Polydioxanone Synthetic Absorbable (PDO) sutures because the packaging is incorrectly labeled. While the boxes and packets are marked as Suture Size 0, they may actually contain the significantly smaller Suture Size 3/0. This recall affects sutures distributed under the brand names goDox, Mono-Dox, WEBMAX, Monovet, MONOSORB, and MSA.
Using a suture of a different size than intended during a veterinary surgery can result in inadequate wound closure or unexpected material breakage. This defect could lead to surgical complications for the animal, although no injuries or incidents have been reported to date.
Contact the manufacturer or your veterinary distributor for return and replacement instructions.
