Medline Industries, LP has recalled 127,572 surgical gowns and drapes because the fabric may peel or separate (delaminate) if the provided laundering instructions are followed. If a delaminated gown or drape is used during surgery, fluids may pass through the material, which could lead to a risk of infection for both patients and healthcare workers. Identifying these defective products in a surgical environment may also cause delays in patient care.
The delamination of the fabric compromises the protective barrier of the surgical gown or drape, allowing for 'surgical strikethrough' where fluids can penetrate the material and potentially cause infections.
