Integra LifeSciences is recalling surgical patties and strips due to higher-than-expected endotoxin levels in raw material, which may result in out-of-specification endotoxin in finished products.

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 a high-risk medical device (surgical material for central nervous system use) with a serious contamination hazard. However, the source does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and no hospitalization events are mentioned. The hazard remains theoretical in terms of actual harm, supporting a High severity rating per the rubric.
