Closure Medical is recalling 5,506 units of NEXABAND S/C Topical Adhesive (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) because the packages were found to contain the wrong product instructions. Instead of the NEXABAND S/C inserts, these containers were discovered with NEXABAND Liquid inserts, which may lead to incorrect use of the medical adhesive. The recall affects 1.5ml bottles distributed nationwide through 16 distributors and their affiliates. If you are a veterinary professional or pet owner using this product, you should contact the manufacturer or your healthcare provider to ensure you have the correct usage information.
The use of an incorrect package insert means users are receiving instructions for a different product formulation (NEXABAND Liquid) rather than the S/C version they purchased. This mix-up can lead to improper application of the topical adhesive, potentially compromising the effectiveness of surgical site closures or wound management in veterinary patients.
