Medline Medcrest Surgical Gowns recalled for fabric delamination risk
What this means
Medline surgical gowns may develop fabric separation (delamination) when laundered using the included instructions. If a separated gown is used during surgery, fluid or bacteria could pass through the compromised fabric, potentially increasing infection risk.
- Stop using affected Medline Medcrest Surgical Gowns immediately
- Check your inventory for the model numbers listed in the recall (MDTGXC4J, MDTGXP4J, MDTL1002862EF, MDTZ1000893AJ, and related variants)
- Contact Medline Industries for instructions on returning or replacing affected gowns
- Do not launder or reuse any identified affected gowns
The agency's original wording
Fabric may experience premature delamination when using included laundering instructions. Identifying delaminated gown or drape in a surgical setting may result in brief delay in patient care. If delaminated product is used and surgical strikethrough occurs, there may be risk of infection.
