Collagen Dura Substitute Membrane Recalled for Compromised Sterility

Collagen Matrix is recalling 68 units of DuraMatrix-Onlay Collagen Dura Substitute Membrane due to unsealed outer packaging that may compromise product sterility and increase infection risk.

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 is an FDA Class II recall involving a risk-of-harm product (surgical membrane) with no reported injuries or illnesses at this time. The compromised sterility presents a potential infection risk, meeting the criteria for High severity as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
