Medline Medcrest Surgical Gowns recalled for fabric delamination risk

OTHERNationwide distribution

Stop using Medline Medcrest Surgical Gowns

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
Hazard

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.
