Codman Surgical Patties and Strips recalled for elevated endotoxin levels

Integra LifeSciences has recalled Codman Surgical Patties and Strips (Model 801407) due to higher-than-expected endotoxin levels in raw materials, resulting in out-of-specification endotoxin in finished products used in brain surgery.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This recall involves surgical devices used in high-risk procedures (brain and central nervous system surgery) with documented quality control failures (out-of-specification endotoxin levels). Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the potential for serious harm to patients undergoing neurosurgery justifies a High severity classification.
