Manufacturer Reason for Recall | Stryker Spine has received reports that after sterilization but prior to surgery, cracks were noticed at the tantalum marker / PEI tube interface. This can likely be attributed to differences in the rate of thermal expansion between the markers and the sleeve during the sterilization cycle. |
