TMS LINK PLUS Self-Threading Pins

Reason

The incorrect dental pins were packaged and subsequently distributed. The l741 pins should be stainless steel, single sheer link pins that are gold-plated. The pins that were packed and distributed are titanium, double sheer, and not gold plated.

The incorrectly packaged pin is too small for the drill, meaning that drills a hole too large for the pins and the pins will not engage the hole to effectively sheer.
