During a total knee replacement, the surgeon was preparing to implant the triathlon knee components.The femoral implant in question was opened outside the sterile field.As the surgeon was about to accept the implant he noticed that one of inner hard plastic packaging shells was damaged and therefore he was concerned the product may be unsterile.Every other aspect of product packaging seemed intact.The rim of the plastic shell wasn¿t complete all the way around, it looks like one side snapped away at some stage.This piece of plastic wasn¿t within the packaging anywhere.Surgeon did not take the product into the sterile field as a result, and a replacement part was taken from the consignment shelf and used and the procedure was completed as normal.
