Surgical Drill System Instrument Pack Recalled Over Device Breakage Risk

Wright Medical is recalling 176 packs of the EasyFuse Dynamic Compression System Instrument Pack due to risk that the drill guide can jam and break during surgery.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of a surgical instrument with a documented mechanical failure risk (jam/bind resulting in guide breakage during intraoperative use). However, the source text does not report any actual injuries, deaths, or hospitalizations, so per the severity rubric the score is limited to High.
