Qué peligro representa

One lot of product was exposed to more than the approved number of Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization cycles. This may decrease the tensile strength of the sutures over time, which could result in harms such as wound dehiscence, hemorrhage, blood loss, bleeding, tissue breakdown, peritonitis, unspecified infection, vision loss (when used in ophthalmic application), and/or prolonged surgery.
