Expands SurgiMend(TM) technology breast reconstruction product line

PLAINSBORO, N.J., Oct. 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq:IART) today announced the expansion of its acellular dermal tissue matrix (ADM) product line for plastic and reconstructive surgery, including breast reconstruction in Europe, with the introduction of Integra® SurgiMend(TM) PRS Meshed.

Integra SurgiMend PRS Meshed has received CE Mark approval and expects to begin a full market release in Europe in October 2017. Integra's newest acellular dermal matrix (ADM) product was presented at the London Breast Meeting on September 7 - 9, 2017 and was extremely well-received by the surgeon delegates.

Integra SurgiMend PRS, an acellular dermal tissue matrix derived from bovine dermis, is intended for implantation to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists and for surgical repair of damaged or ruptured soft tissue membranes. It is specifically indicated for plastic and reconstructive surgery, including breast reconstruction. The SurgiMend PRS Meshed solution offers patients the possibility for one single-stage implant breast reconstruction post-mastectomy, instead of multiple-stage surgery.

"We believe that our product offers a real potential to reduce operating time and post-operative pain and morbidity, whilst maintaining aesthetic & functional outcomes, which are key benefits to the patient," says Lesley Whitlock, director of New Business Development, Integra Europe.

"We are proud to launch the first meshed ADM, specifically intended for breast reconstruction. It will increase the surgeon's choice for both pre- and sub-pectoral breast reconstruction using the trusted SurgiMend technology, while meeting the patient demand for one-stage pre-pectoral breast reconstruction in Europe," said Stéphane Corp, vice president, Tissue Technologies, Integra Europe.
