Medline Industries, LP is recalling approximately 2,940 Centurion Sterile Weitlaner Retractors because the devices may puncture their own sterile packaging. If the packaging is breached, the retractors are no longer sterile, which can expose patients to contaminants during surgery. This recall affects reorder numbers 67315 and I68395 across multiple production lots. There have been no reported incidents or injuries related to this issue at this time.
A puncture in the sterile packaging compromises the safety of the surgical instrument. Using a non-sterile device during medical procedures can lead to serious surgical site infections or other healthcare-associated illnesses.
