Product description
Product 20 consists of all prod oct under poduct code: KTT and same usage: Item no: 47116201900 COMPRESSION SCREW 1/2IN 47116202300 COMPRESSION SCREW 1-1/2IN 47116202200 COMPRESSION SCREW 1-1/4IN 47116202400 COMPRESSION SCREW 1-3/4IN 47116202100 COMPRESSION SCREW 1IN 47116202000 COMPRESSION SCREW 3/4IN Product Usage: Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.
Reason for recall
