Integra LifeSciences Provides Updated Plans for Its Manufacturing Facility in Braintree, Massachusetts
15 Juli 2024 - 2:00PM
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.”
