SUR-FIT Natura Durahesive Wafer Recalled for Skin Barrier Delamination

ConvaTec is recalling 600 market units of SUR-FIT Natura S4S Durahesive Wafer due to skin barrier delamination. The wafer's layers or tape borders may fail to maintain proper seal, potentially affecting skin protection.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II FDA medical device recall involving a structural failure (delamination) of a critical skin barrier product with 10 reported cases of device failure. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the device failure creates a risk of impaired skin protection and potential complications, meeting the High severity criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

ConvaTec, Inc is recalling SUR-FIT Natura S4S Durahesive Wafer 70MM (1X10PK), a skin barrier medical device used in ostomy and wound care. Each market unit contains 10 individual protective wafers. The company initiated the recall due to 10 reported cases of skin barrier delamination, in which the flange lifts from the wafer, the barrier's protective layers separate, or tape borders develop rips and tears. These structural failures could prevent the wafer from maintaining a proper seal and protecting the skin.
