PRINCETON, N.J., July 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq: IART), a leading global medical technology company, is announcing its plans to restart the manufacture of PriMatrix® and SurgiMend® at its new manufacturing facility in Braintree, Massachusetts. The Company expects to operationalize this new facility in the first half of 2026.
Since receiving the third-party audit findings for its Boston, Massachusetts, manufacturing facility in March, the Company has been thoroughly reassessing its plans and timeline to resume the manufacture of PriMatrix and SurgiMend at this site. In parallel, the Company has been furthering its plans to complete the construction and operationalization of its new state-of-the-art tissue manufacturing facility in Braintree. Based on these assessments, the Company no longer plans to restart the manufacture of these products at its Boston facility and will, instead, restart manufacturing of these products at the Braintree site.
“Given the advantages of the Braintree facility and the challenges of the Boston facility, the decision to consolidate our efforts at our new Braintree location enables us to focus our resources in one location. This represents a minimal difference in timing compared to restarting in our existing Boston facility, while limiting execution risk,” said Robert T. Davis, Jr., executive vice president and president of Integra’s Tissue Technologies division.
Integra will temporarily utilize the Boston site and equipment to support product and process development activities to facilitate a smooth transition to the Braintree facility.
“This new 100,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility provides us with the flexibility to implement more effective quality systems and efficient process flows, as well as significant capacity to support the future growth of PriMatrix and SurgiMend. The new facility is 10 miles from our current Boston location and central to where many of our Boston-area colleagues live, with ample space to house an attractive workplace,” Davis added. “We remain fully committed to bringing PriMatrix and SurgiMend back to the market and to achieving pre-market approval for SurgiMend PRS in implant-based breast reconstruction. We believe that focusing our efforts to operationalize the new Braintree facility is the right path to meet these commitments.”
