Integra bioBLOCK Resorbable Subtalar Implant Recalled for Temperature Exposure

Integra Limited is recalling 232 units of bioBLOCK Resorbable Subtalar Implants because temperature indicators suggest exposure to temperatures greater than 110°F.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a potential loss of product integrity due to temperature exposure, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving a theoretical or unreported risk of harm.

Plain-English summary

Integra Limited is recalling 232 units of the Integra bioBLOCK Resorbable Subtalar Implant, 11mm (Catalog Number: 040011). The product is indicated for internal support to primary surgical interventions in the treatment of flatfoot. The recall involves Lot Numbers FGD2096 and FGD8328.

The recall was initiated because temperature indicators on the product may have changed color to dark gray or black prior to shipment.

Healthcare providers and patients should stop using the affected implants and contact Integra Limited for further instructions or a replacement. No specific instructions for patient action are provided in the source text beyond the recall notification.
