Acumed Hexalob Screws Recalled for Risk of Fracture During Use

Acumed LLC is recalling Hexalob Screws of various sizes used with wrist fixation systems due to a manufacturing error that may cause the screws to break during use.

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 for a structural/mechanical failure of an orthopedic implant screw that poses a risk of harm (fracture during use) if the device fails. No reported illnesses or injuries are stated in the source text, which limits the score below 4; however, the hazard is not merely theoretical—it is a specific manufacturing defect with direct potential for patient harm, placing it at score 3.
