Plain-English summary
Stryker Corporation is recalling 182,344 units of Nasopore Standard 8cm fragmentable nasal dressing (Catalog Numbers 5400-010-008 and 5400-010-008ITL) distributed nationwide in the United States. The product is a sterile nasal dressing used in nasal and sinus surgical procedures.
The recall is being issued because blister seals on the product packaging may develop bubbles on the seal area.
