2.4, 3.0, and 4.0 mm Gridlock Screw Driver Bit, Model Number 310-30-003, Lot Number TSL002605, NON-STERILE. For use with the Gridlock Plating System for trauma and reconstructive procedures of small bones.

Specifically, the minor diameter of the drive feature is above the specification, potentially reducing the engagement between the driver and the screw head.
