Windstone Medical Recalls Lithotomy Packs Due to Sterility Compromise

Windstone Medical Packaging is recalling 630 Lithotomy 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 medical device where a defect (glove splits/holes) compromises sterility, posing a risk of harm (infection) in a surgical setting, but the source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
