The company makes knee and hip joint replacements, plating systems and trauma products at the Memphis facility. 

Smith+Nephew put the 300,000-square-foot campus up for sale in September.

The company has not specified when the layoffs will take place, the report said.

Three major investors in Smith+Nephew encouraged the company to consider breaking up parts of its business and spinning off its orthopedics division last month.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
