Windstone Medical Recalls Lap/Pelviscopy Packs Due to Sterility Compromise

Windstone Medical Packaging is recalling 258 Lap/Pelviscopy Packs because the included Medtronic gloves may contain splits or holes that compromise sterility.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (sterile surgical kit) where sterility is compromised, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical risk without reported harm.
