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 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
