Integra LifeSciences is recalling approximately 120,124 units of MEDIHONEY Dressing with Active Leptospermum Honey Wound and Burn Dressing with Applicator. This recall affects both the 1.5-ounce (Model 31515) and 3.5-ounce (Model 31535) tube sizes distributed between December 17, 2020, and July 22, 2024. The recall was initiated because small pinholes may be present in the applicator's pouch film, which could compromise the sterile environment of the dressing. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer to discuss any concerns regarding the use of these dressings.
The presence of pinholes in the applicator pouch film allows the internal components to be exposed to air and contaminants, potentially introducing bacteria to the wound or burn. Using a non-sterile dressing on sensitive wounds or burns increases the risk of infection and delayed healing.
