Manufacturer Narrative

Integra has completed their internal investigation: all boxes were opened and each unit was visually evaluated.Some sponges were found to be slightly discolored (off-white); nonetheless, as stated in the ifu, ¿over time the biopatch may turn yellow in color.This coloration does not reduce the antimicrobial efficacy of the dressing.¿ sealing area was also inspected for each unit (1,919 pouches).All units were found to be sealed completely without any voids across the seal width.No additional tests were requested since sterility testing had already been performed to the retain samples which are representative of the lot.There are no changes to the conclusions as originally reported based on the observations made from visual inspection of the retuned units.
