Flower Orthopedics is recalling 2.0mm drill bit kits that lack the AO connect feature. This could delay surgical procedures if used without the feature.

Check for catalog number DBK 020 and lot numbers 2013002721 or 2013003589 on the kit packaging. These kits are intended for use with Flower Small and Medium Implant Sets.
