Polar Dressing recall: Labeling Error

Polar Dressing, Knee/MU/Shldr Intelli-Flo-Breg, PN 10630 Used with cold therapy pads to provide insulation barrier between the pad and patient's skin.

Why was Polar Dressing recalled?

This recall has been initiated due to confirmation that the Polar Dressing, Knee/MU/Shldr Intelli-Flo-Breg does not meet the required thickness as specified. The dressing in the sterile pouch measures a thickness of 0.010" instead of 0.020". This change in thickness makes the dressing thinner, less durable and subject to tearing. The product is mislabeled.
