Vortex Surgical

Vortex Surgical has recalled certain lots of the Lindsell Sutured IOL Marker (a scleral marker used in eye surgery) because the sterile Tyvek pouches may have small voids or openings in their seals. A compromised seal can allow bacteria to enter the package, which could contaminate the sterile device and lead to infection if used in surgery.

Vortex Surgical has recalled certain 25GA Backflush and 27GA Backflush Retractable surgical needles because their Tyvek sterile packaging pouches may have small voids in the seal. A damaged seal can allow bacteria to contaminate the needle, which could cause infection if used in surgery.

A compromised sterile barrier can allow bacterial contamination, potentially leading to infection during or after surgery.
