Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II medical device recall addressing labeling gaps for wound dehiscence prevention and management in a surgical matrix.

Plain-English summary

The FDA is issuing a Class II recall of CorNeat EverPatch (REF: 1036295), a permanent tissue-integrating surgical matrix used in ophthalmic procedures. The recall is retroactive and addresses a labeling deficiency: the original product labeling did not adequately cover prevention and management of wound dehiscence, a surgical complication where the incision site separates or reopens.

Due to complaints, the manufacturer is correcting the labeling to include necessary guidance on preventing and managing wound dehiscence with this surgical matrix.

CorNeat EverPatch has been distributed in 28 U.S. states and territories, as well as internationally to Argentina, Israel, and Hong Kong. The product is identified by UDI-DI: G16010362950.

Healthcare providers using this device should review the corrected labeling when available to ensure proper wound management protocols are followed during and after surgical procedures using this matrix.
