Official wording
Reason: The needle associated with certain suture product codes has the potential to perforate the packaging due to a packaging design issue. A perforated package has the potential to cause a soft tissue injury to a healthcare professional handling the subject product or a patient infection due to a breach of sterility within the packaging if it goes unnoticed by the healthcare professional.
