International safety notice

This product supplements the initial fixation of a PS cemented femoral component to the bone in orthopedic knee replacement surgery. This is a product that helps. When we investigated overseas manufacturers, we found that in some lots, the hexagonal hole was not processed at the tip of the peg. Since we cannot deny the possibility that these products may be contaminated, we have decided to carry out a voluntary recall of the affected products.
