Wright Medical Recalls Ortholoc 3DI Locking Screws Due to Sterility Documentation Issues

Wright Medical Technology is recalling 40 units of Ortholoc 3DI locking screws because documentation confirming sterility was inadequate.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the source text explicitly states the issue is a lack of documentation confirming sterility rather than a confirmed contamination or injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
