Johnson & Johnson’s DePuy orthopedics business plans to stop selling a couple of hip replacement systems not widely used by doctors.

DePuy will discontinue both its Ultamet Metal-on-Metal Articulation and Complete Ceramic-on-Metal Acetabular systems worldwide at the end of August.

DePuy said Thursday the discontinuations were not connected to concerns about safety or effectiveness, and they were not recalls.
