Integra Ora Plug Collagen Wound Dressing Recalled for Pyrogen Levels

Integra LifeSciences is recalling Ora Plug Absorbable Collagen Wound Dressings due to potential pyrogen levels exceeding specifications.

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: The recall involves a medical device with a potential contamination (pyrogens) that poses a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a high-risk product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Integra LifeSciences Corporation is recalling 31,940 boxes of Ora Plug Absorbable Collagen Wound Dressing for Dental Surgery. The product is intended for use on moist or bleeding oral wounds to help stabilize blood clots and control bleeding.

The recall was initiated due to a process deviation that may have resulted in product lots being released with higher levels of pyrogens than permitted by the product specifications. Pyrogens are substances that can cause fever when introduced into the body.

The affected lots are identified by codes 1110144, 1110243, 1110782, and 1111645. The products were distributed worldwide, including the United States (nationwide, including Puerto Rico) and numerous international markets.
