Plain-English summary
Stryker Corporation has recalled Nasopore 4cm fragmentable nasal dressings in both Firm (Catalog Number 5400-020-004) and Forte (Catalog Number 5400-020-004ITL) versions. The recall was issued because blister seals on the product packaging can develop a bubble on the seal area, which indicates a breach in the sterile barrier.
The affected products were distributed nationwide across the United States. Numerous lot numbers from the manufacturing period spanning 2022 through mid-2024 are included in this recall.
Healthcare facilities and individuals with affected product should discontinue use immediately. Stryker should be contacted for instructions on returning the product or obtaining replacements.
