Zimmer Biomet recalls NEXGEN GSF porous femoral LPS flex implants due to LDPE bag residue on implants after removal. Affected patients should contact for details.
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 hip implants because packaging material may stick to the implants after removal. This could cause issues with the implant's function or safety.
The LDPE plastic bag used for packaging may leave residue on the implant after it's removed from the bag. This residue could potentially affect the implant's performance or cause complications during surgery.
