VA Northern California Health Care System (VANCHCS) requires the purchase of replacement Surgical Instruments for Podiatry/Surgical Service. As per VANCHCS, instruments processed from November of 2025 to February of 2026 were damaged and are now unsuitable for Surgical use.

VANCHCS has placed a purchase with Stryker Customer Solutions (dba Stryker Sales LLC) directly for the procurement of Three (3) of the needed replacement items – One (1) each, BPX Micro Drill;

One (1) each, Oscillating Saw; and One (1) each, AO Small Drill. As per Stryker Customer Solutions (dba Stryker Sales LLC), these three items are all Stryker-Brand components that are sold as individual parts; however, they are required to complete the larger BPX set needed. There are no compatible alternatives authorized and/or available that can integrate with the set without affecting functionality, performance, and/or warranties, etc. associated.
