The breakaway knee nozzle is intended to be used during knee surgery.
The breakaway knee nozzle enables the user to apply an even layer of cement. The flat portion of the nozzle can be manually removed (no need to 

use the nozzle cutter). By breaking it off, the remaining round nozzle can be used to fill the cavities. 
All components are packed in an inner blister pack, where the bottom of the tray serves as a tool tray. The blister pack is placed in a polyethylene-

Tyvek pouch.
