Product
Illico Ti Cannulated Polyaxial Screw 7.5mm X 40mm. The Illico MIS Posterior Fixation System is intended to facilitate the surgical correction of noncervical spinal deformities by providing temporary internal fixation and stabilization during bone graft healing and/or fusion mass development.
Reason for recall
The firm initiated this recall of certain lots of Illico Ti Cannulated Polyaxial Screws 7.5mm x 40mm implants, due to an off-center cannulation hole at the proximal end of the bone screw. There is a potential risk that when the screw is mated to a polyaxial screwdriver, the guide wire may not pass through the screwdriver.
