Zimmer Biomet recalls VERSYS hip prostheses due to LDPE packaging residue risk. Affected models include 6-inch beaded FC 1:12x160mm LM body neck. Contact for return instructions.
The LDPE bag packaging for various highly polished hip and knee implants may adhere to the highly polished surface, leaving residue or material from the LDPE bag on the implant after it is removed from the bag.
Zimmer Biomet is recalling certain VERSYS hip prostheses because LDPE packaging may leave residue on the implant after removal. This could affect the implant's performance and long-term success.
The LDPE plastic bag packaging may stick to the highly polished surface of the hip implant. When the implant is removed from the bag, residue from the bag can remain on the implant, potentially affecting its function and long-term success.
