Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

Specific lots of sutures were sterilized with gamma doses that exceeded the range approved. The extra gamma levels may decrease the strength of the sutures over time, which could result in harms such as wound dehiscence and hemorrhage/blood loss/ bleeding at a critical level.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
