Acumed Cortical Screws

Reason

It has come to Acumed's attention that there has been a commingling of two batches of 3.5mm Cortical Screws (10.0mm and 12.0mm). As a result, there is a possibility of mislabeling which could result in implantation difficulty or user annoyance if the screw lengths are not verified before use.
