It was reported that during a c3-t1 pcf on an unknown date, it was noted that a lot of damage to the instruments has been found from usage over time.The final tighteners were stripped because they weren't seated completed in the set cap when attempting to final tighten.Similarly, the set cap inserters were not in the same plane as the screw but the surgeon kept trying to fasten them down which stripped the set cap inserter.Additionally, the persuader (reducer) got stuck on the screw head and bent it when surgeon tried to remove it so it no longer clips on to other screws.There was no patient consequence.
