As reported, the sealed packaging of a bard flat mesh was opened and the surgeon identified a hair within the ¿little holes¿ of the mesh.The sample was not returned for evaluation, however a photo of the bard mesh in question was provided.The photo depicts the mesh removed from the package, contaminated with blood and a hair in/on the mesh.As the photo provided depicts the mesh out of the package and contaminated, the photo does not assist in determining whether the hair was introduced after opening the package or if the hair was present prior to opening the package.Based on the photo evaluation, this complaint is confirmed with an undetermined root cause.A review of the manufacturing records was performed and found that the lot was manufactured to specification.
