Reported risk: Zimmer is initiating a recall of a subset of variously highly polished implants packaged in low density polyethylene (LDPE) bag because Zimmer has received complaints that the LDPE bag containing the implant adheres to the highly polished implant surface. The level of adhesion can vary, resulting in material transfer to the implants that can range from residue to pieces of film from the LDPE bag.
