Product Description

Forceps Blue, disposable, sterile, 100 eaches per sales unit. Product Usage: Forceps are sterile disposable devices intended for use during clinical procedures to grasp, manipulate, maneuver or assist with the removal of debris, particulates or wound tissue. Typically, forceps may be used in conditions where it is difficult to grasp small objects by hand and increased precise function is required. Applications in which sterile forceps are commonly used include wound care: e.g. gripping, debridement procedures, removal of sutures, arrangement of dressing procedure pack contents, dressing wounds, including cavity wounds and removal of wound tissue.

Reason for Recall

An internal assessment of packaging confirmed the potential for a breach in the sterile barrier.
