International Life Sciences is recalling several models of Artelon FlexBand augmentation devices, including the FlexBand Dynamic Matrix, FlexBand Plus, and FlexBand Twist, because they failed bacterial endotoxin testing. While no injuries have been reported, these medical devices are used in surgical procedures and must meet strict safety standards for contaminants. These products were distributed worldwide and across the United States between February and March 2026.
Bacterial endotoxins can cause a severe inflammatory response, fever, or infection when introduced into the body during surgery, potentially leading to surgical complications or the need for additional medical intervention.
