Reported risk: These packs contain laparotomy sponges that have been recalled by Medtronic (Covidien Curity, Curity X-Ray, Kerlix X-Ray, Vistec X-Ray). Medtronic states that the seal integrity of the lap sponge package may be compromised resulting in potential breach of the sterile barrier. This could lead to an increased risk of infection. Medtronic reports no adverse incidents associated with this issue. Medline Canada has not received any complaints of this nature.
