Cook Medical has recalled almost 9,000 Roadrunner UniGlide Hydrophilic Wire Guides after its hydrophilic coating supplier, DSM Biomedical, recalled certain lots of material due to concerns about a potential contamination by glass particles. Potential adverse events that may occur as a result of this contamination could include vessel damage, bleeding and embolic particulate in the circulatory system, a [recall notice](http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm516701.htm?source=govdelivery&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=govdelivery) says. The wire guide is intended for use in the delivery of percutaneous catheters into the peripheral vasculature.
