I got a box of these on clearance, and while the product itself does seem to be good quality. I was bothered that the expire date was only a year away, which means the box had been with this company a while. Although the expire date is considered a best used by date, and doesn't mean the product will be unusable, it's still important to keep that date in mind when ensuring maximum sterility. Because the product was on clearance, customer service refused to accept an exchange. I think it's important that any company that sells medical products with an expire date needs to publish that information to at least indicate how old the stock is. If I had known the unit I was buying was due to expire next year instead of having the full shelf-life, that would have influenced my decision to purchase it.
