PRINCETON, N.J., April 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation<\/a> (Nasdaq:IART), a leading global medical technology company and manufacturer of SurgiMend Collagen Matrix, today issued the following statement regarding the <\/a>U.S. FDA safety communication on the differences in complication rates between acellular dermal matrix (ADM) products used in implant-based breast reconstruction<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIntegra LifeSciences supports the efforts of the U.S. FDA to protect women\u2019s health, including its recent safety communication on ADM products used in implant-based breast reconstruction.<\/p>\n

We work to consistently meet or exceed industry and global regulatory standards to provide quality products and technologies designed to meet the needs of our customers and their patients.<\/p>\n
