| RE: | Biomet Holdings Ltd. and Biomet Travel, Inc. (“Registrants”) |
Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to Form S-1
Filed September 15, 2010
File No. 333-150655
Dear Mr. Lopez,
Biomet, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company”, “we”, or “our”) hereby makes application on behalf of the Registrants, pursuant to paragraph (a) of Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to withdraw Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to Form S-1 (File No. 333-150655) (the “Post-Effective Amendment”), filed by the Registrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 15, 2010.
The Company, in its capacity as the ultimate parent company of the Registrants, caused Biomet Holdings Ltd. and Biomet Travel, Inc. to be dissolved on August 30, 2010 and June 16, 2010, respectively, and had inadvertently filed the Post-Effective Amendment under such Registrants’ EDGAR filing codes. The Company confirms that no securities have been or will be sold under the Post-Effective Amendment.
We would be grateful if you would please provide the Company with a facsimile copy of the order consenting to the withdrawal of the Post-Effective Amendment at your earliest convenience. The Company’s facsimile number is (574) 372-1960.
If you have any questions regarding this application, please contact me at (574) 371-3026.
| Sincerely, |
| /s/ Jody S. Gale |
Jody S. Gale Vice President and Associate General Counsel |
