     We  develop,   manufacture  and  market  medical   devices,   implants  and
biomaterials. Our operations consist of:

     o    Integra  NeuroSciences,  which  is a  leading  provider  of  implants,
          devices, and monitors used in neurosurgery,  neurotrauma,  and related
          critical care; and


     o    Integra  LifeSciences,  which  develops and  manufactures a variety of
          medical  products  and  devices,   including  products  based  on  our
          proprietary  tissue  regeneration  technology  which are used to treat
          soft tissue and orthopedic conditions.

Integra  NeuroSciences  sells primarily through a direct sales  organization and
Integra   LifeSciences   sells  primarily   through   strategic   alliances  and
distributors.


     Integra  was  founded  in 1989 and over the  next  decade  built a  product
portfolio based on absorbable collagen, and a product development platform based
on technologies  directed toward tissue  regeneration.  During 1999 and 2000, we
expanded  into  the  neurosurgical   market,   an  attractive   niche,   through
acquisitions and introductions of new products.  Our 2000 revenues  increased to
$71.6  million as compared to $42.9  million in 1999,  and our  revenues for the
first three months of 2001 were $21.7 million  compared to $14.5 million for the
first three months of 2000.


     Our  goal  is to  become  a  leader  in the  development,  manufacture  and
marketing of medical devices,  implants and biomaterials in the markets in which
we compete.  Our products are principally used in the diagnosis and treatment of
neurosurgical, soft-tissue and orthopedic conditions and we intend to expand our
presence in those markets. Key elements of our strategy include the following:

     o    Expand our  presence  in  neurosurgery  and closely  related  surgical
          specialties;

     o    Continue to develop new and innovative medical products; and

     o    Continue to form strategic alliances for Integra LifeSciences products
          and technologies.

     Integra was formed as a Delaware  corporation  in June 1989.  Our executive
offices are located at 311-C Enterprise Drive, Plainsboro, New Jersey 08536. Our
telephone  number  is  (609)  275-0500.  Our  World  Wide Web  site  address  is

(2)  General  and  administrative  expense  in 2000  included  a  $13.5  million
     stock-based  compensation  charge in  connection  with the extension of the
     employment of the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.


(3)  The 1999 income tax  benefit  includes a non-cash  benefit of $1.8  million
     resulting from the reduction of the deferred tax liability  recorded in the
     NeuroCare  Group of companies  acquisition to the extent that  consolidated
     deferred tax assets were generated subsequent to the acquisition.  The 2000
     income tax expense and 1999 income tax  benefit  include  $0.5  million and
     $0.6 million,  respectively,  of benefits  associated  with the sale of New
     Jersey state net operating losses.

(4)  As the result of the  adoption  of SEC Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  No. 101
     Revenue  Recognition,  we  recorded  a  $470,000  cumulative  effect  of an
     accounting  change  to defer a portion  of a  nonrefundable,  up-front  fee
     received and recorded in other revenue in 1998.  The  cumulative  effect of
     this  accounting  change was measured as of January 1, 2000. As a result of
     this  accounting  change,  other  revenue  in  2000  includes  $112,000  of
     amortization of the amount deferred as of January 1, 2000.

                                  RISK FACTORS


     IN  ADDITION  TO THE  OTHER  INFORMATION  IN THIS  PROSPECTUS,  YOU  SHOULD
CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION. THE
TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD  DECLINE DUE TO ANY OF THESE RISKS,  AND
YOU COULD LOSE ALL OR A PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

WE MAY CONTINUE TO INCUR OPERATING LOSSES.

     To date, we have  experienced  significant  operating losses in funding the
research,  development,  manufacturing  and  marketing  of our  products and may
continue to incur operating  losses. As of March 31, 2001, we had an accumulated
deficit of $103.7 million. Our ability to maintain profitability depends in part
upon our ability,  either  independently  or in  collaboration  with others,  to
successfully  manufacture and market our products and services. We cannot assure
you that we can sustain profitability on an ongoing basis.


WE MAY BE  UNABLE  TO  RAISE  ADDITIONAL  FINANCING  NECESSARY  TO  CONDUCT  OUR
BUSINESS, MAKE PAYMENTS WHEN DUE OR REFINANCE OUR DEBT.


     As of  March  31,  2001,  we had  cash,  cash  equivalents  and  short-term
investments  of  approximately  $19.4  million and short and  long-term  debt of
approximately  $12.3  million.  In the  absence of a material  acquisition  or a
material  adverse  change in our  business,  financial  condition  or results of
operations, we have the ability to fund our operations from our existing capital
resources and cash generated from the foreseeable  future.  However, we may need
to raise additional funds in the future in order to implement our business plan,
to refinance our debt, to conduct  research and  development,  to fund marketing
programs or to acquire complementary  businesses,  technologies or services. Any
required additional financing may be unavailable on terms favorable to us, or at
all.  If we  raise  additional  funds  by  issuing  equity  securities,  you may
experience  significant dilution of your ownership interest and these securities
may have rights senior to those of the holders of our preferred or common stock.
If we cannot obtain  additional  financing when required on acceptable terms, we
may be unable  to fund our  expansion,  develop  or  enhance  our  products  and
services,  take  advantage of business  opportunities  or respond to competitive
pressures.

WHILE OUR CURRENT CAPITAL  REQUIREMENTS DO NOT INCLUDE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN
OUR DEBT LEVELS, WERE CIRCUMSTANCES TO ARISE THAT REQUIRE US TO INCUR MORE DEBT,
THE PROVISIONS OF OUR CURRENT DEBT INSTRUMENTS WOULD LIMIT US FROM INCURRING THE
INDEBTEDNESS.

     Historically,  the cash we  generate  from our  operating  activities,  new
equity  investments and borrowings has been sufficient to meet our  requirements
for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures,  and investments in and
advance to our affiliates.  Although in the past we have been able to obtain new
debt,  we  cannot  guarantee  that we will be able to  continue  to do so in the
future or that the cost to us or the other terms which would  affect us would be
as  favorable  to us as our  current  loans and credit  agreements.  Although we
believe  that our business  will  continue to generate  cash,  should we need to
borrow  additional funds, the covenants in the credit agreements for our current
debt limit our ability to borrow more money.


THE INTEGRA PARENT COMPANY  DEPENDS ON ITS  SUBSIDIARIES  AND OTHER COMPANIES IN
WHICH IT HAS INVESTMENTS TO FUND ITS CASH NEEDS.


     The Integra parent company  directly owns no significant  assets other than
stock,  equity  and  other  interests  in our  subsidiaries  and in  some  other
companies.  This  creates  risks  regarding  our ability to provide  cash to the
Integra parent company to conduct future activities or to repay any interest and
principal  which it might owe on future  borrowings at the Integra parent level,
our ability to pay cash  dividends to our preferred and common  stockholders  in
the future,  and the ability of our  subsidiaries and other companies to respond
to changing business and economic conditions and to get new loans.

OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE.


     Our operating  results may fluctuate from time to time,  which could affect
the value of your shares.  Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and
can be  expected  to  fluctuate  from  time to time in the  future.  Some of the
factors that may cause these fluctuations include:

                                       5



     o    the impact of acquisitions;

     o    the timing of significant customer orders;

     o    market  acceptance  of our existing  products,  as well as products in
          development;

     o    the timing of regulatory approvals;


     o    the timing of payments received and the recognition of the payments as
          revenue under collaborative arrangements and strategic alliances;


     o    our ability to manufacture our products efficiently; and

     o    the timing of our research and development expenditures.

THE INDUSTRY AND MARKET SEGMENTS IN WHICH WE OPERATE ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE, AND
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY WITH OTHER COMPANIES.

     In general,  the medical  technology  industry is  characterized by intense
competition.  We compete with established  pharmaceutical and medical technology
companies.   Competition  also  comes  from  early  stage  companies  that  have
alternative technological solutions for our primary clinical targets, as well as
universities,  research institutions and other non-profit entities.  Many of our
competitors  have  access  to  greater   financial,   technical,   research  and
development,  marketing,  manufacturing,  sales, distribution services and other
resources  than  we do.  Further,  our  competitors  may be  more  effective  at
implementing their technologies to develop commercial products.


     Our  competitive  position  will  depend on our  ability to achieve  market
acceptance for our products,  implement  production and marketing plans,  secure
regulatory approval for products under development, obtain patent protection and
secure adequate capital  resources.  We may need to develop new applications for
our products to remain competitive. Technological advances by one or more of our
current  or future  competitors  could  render our  present  or future  products
obsolete or  uneconomical.  Our future  success  will depend upon our ability to
compete effectively against current technology as well as to respond effectively
to technological advances. We can not assure you that competitive pressures will
not adversely affect our profitability.

     The  largest  competitors  of  Integra  NeuroSciences  in the  neurosurgery
markets are the PS Medical  division of Medtronic,  Inc., the Codman division of
Johnson & Johnson,  the Valleylab and Radionics  divisions of Tyco International
Ltd.,  and NMT  Neurosciences,  a division of NMT  Medical,  Inc.  In  addition,
various  of  the  Integra  NeuroSciences  product  lines  compete  with  smaller
specialized  companies  or  larger  companies  that do not  otherwise  focus  on
neurosurgery.  The  products  of Integra  LifeSciences  face  diverse  and broad
competition,  depending on the market  addressed  by the  product.  In addition,
certain  companies  are known to be competing  particularly  in the area of skin
substitution  or  regeneration,  including  Organogenesis  and  Advanced  Tissue
Sciences.  Finally,  in certain cases competition  consists primarily of current
medical practice,  rather than any particular  product (such as autograft tissue
as a substitute for INTEGRA(R)-Dermal Regeneration Template).


OUR CURRENT STRATEGY INVOLVES GROWTH THROUGH ACQUISITIONS,  WHICH REQUIRES US TO
INCUR SUBSTANTIAL COSTS AND POTENTIAL LIABILITIES FOR WHICH WE MAY NEVER REALIZE
THE ANTICIPATED BENEFITS.


     In addition to  internal  growth,  our  current  strategy  involves  growth
through  acquisitions.  Since  the  beginning  of 2000,  we have  acquired  four
different businesses. On January 17, 2000, we purchased the business,  including
certain  assets and  liabilities,  of  Clinical  Neuro  Systems,  Inc.  for $6.8
million. CNS designs,  manufactures and sells neurosurgical external ventricular
drainage  systems,  including  catheters  and drainage  bags, as well as cranial
access kits. The purchase price of the CNS business consisted of $4.0 million in
cash and a 5% $2.8 million  promissory note issued to the seller. The promissory
note, of which approximately $1.4 million remains outstanding, is collateralized
by  inventory,  property  and  equipment of the CNS business and by a collateral
assignment of a $2.8 million promissory note from one of our subsidiaries.

     On April 6,  2000,  we  purchased  the  Selector(R)  Ultrasonic  Aspirator,
Ruggles(TM) hand-held neurosurgical  instruments and Spembly Medical cryosurgery
product lines, including certain assets and liabilities,  from NMT Medical, Inc.
for $11.6 million in cash.

     On April 4, 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding  stock of GMSmbH,  the
German  manufacturer of the LICOX(R) Brain Tissue Oxygen Monitoring  System, for
$2.9 million, of which $2.3 million was paid at closing.


                                       6




     On April 27,  2001,  we  acquired  Satelec  Medical,  a  subsidiary  of the
Satelec-Pierre  Rolland group, for $3.6 million in cash. Satelec Medical,  based
in France,  manufactures  and  markets  the  Dissectron(R)  ultrasonic  surgical
aspirator console and a line of related handpieces.

     We cannot  assure you that we will be able to  continue  to  implement  our
growth  strategy,  or that  this  strategy  will  ultimately  be  successful.  A
significant portion of our growth in revenues has resulted from, and is expected
to continue to result from, the acquisition of businesses  complementary  to our
own.  We engage in  evaluations  of  potential  acquisitions  and are in various
stages of  discussion  regarding  possible  acquisitions,  certain of which,  if
consummated,  could be significant to us. Any potential  acquisitions may result
in  significant  transaction  expenses,   increased  interest  and  amortization
expense,  increased depreciation expense and increased operating expense, any of
which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.  As we grow
by  acquisitions,  we must be able to integrate and manage the new businesses to
realize economies of scale and control costs. In addition,  acquisitions involve
other risks, including diversion of management resources otherwise available for
ongoing  development  of our business  and risks  associated  with  entering new
markets with which our marketing and sales force has limited experience or where
experienced  distribution alliances are not available.  Our future profitability
will depend in part upon our ability to further  develop our  resources to adapt
to the  particulars  of those new products or business areas and to identify and
enter into satisfactory  distribution  networks.  We may not be able to identify
suitable  acquisition  candidates in the future,  obtain acceptable financing or
consummate any future acquisitions.  If we cannot integrate acquired operations,
manage the cost of providing  our products or price our products  appropriately,
our profitability would suffer. In addition,  as a result of our acquisitions of
other  healthcare  businesses,  we may be subject  to the risk of  unanticipated
business   uncertainties  or  legal  liabilities   relating  to  those  acquired
businesses  for which the sellers of the acquired  businesses  may not indemnify
us. Future  acquisitions  may also result in potentially  dilutive  issuances of
equity securities.


TO MARKET OUR PRODUCTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT WE WILL FIRST NEED TO OBTAIN REGULATORY
APPROVAL.  FURTHER,  IF WE  FAIL  TO  COMPLY  WITH  THE  EXTENSIVE  GOVERNMENTAL
REGULATIONS THAT AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, WE COULD BE SUBJECT TO PENALTIES AND COULD
BE PRECLUDED FROM MARKETING OUR PRODUCTS.


     Our research and development  activities and the  manufacturing,  labeling,
distribution  and  marketing of our existing and future  products are subject to
regulation by numerous  governmental  agencies in the United States and in other
countries.  The FDA and comparable  agencies in other countries impose mandatory
procedures  and standards for the conduct of clinical  trials and the production
and marketing of products for diagnostic and human therapeutic use.

     Our  products  under  development  are  subject  to FDA  approval  prior to
marketing for commercial  use. The process of obtaining  necessary FDA approvals
can take years and is  expensive  and full of  uncertainties.  Our  inability to
obtain required  regulatory  approval on a timely or acceptable basis could harm
our  business.  Further,  approval  may place  substantial  restrictions  on the
indications for which the product may be marketed or to whom it may be marketed.
To gain  approval for the use of a product for clinical  indications  other than
those for which the product was initially  evaluated or for significant  changes
to the product,  further studies,  including  clinical trials and FDA approvals,
are required.  In addition,  for products with an approved  pre-market  approval
application,   the  FDA  requires   postapproval   reporting   and  may  require
postapproval   surveillance   programs  to  monitor  the  product's  safety  and
effectiveness. Results of post approval programs may limit or expand the further
marketing of the product.

     We believe that the most significant risk of our recent applications to FDA
relates to the  regulatory  classification  of certain of our new  products,  or
proposed new uses for existing products.  In the filing of each application,  we
make a legal judgment about the appropriate form and content of the application.
If the FDA disagrees with our judgment in any particular  case and, for example,
requires us to file a pre-market approval application rather than allowing us to
market for approved uses while we seek broader  approvals or requires  extensive
additional  clinical data, the time and expense  required to obtain the affected
approval  might be  significantly  increased.  For example,  we have filed,  and
expect to file, a series of post-approval  supplements for the INTEGRA(R) Dermal
Regeneration  Template  seeking approval to promote the product for new uses. It
is possible that FDA will require  additional  clinical  information  to support
these applications, or that the FDA will reject our applications entirely.


                                       7



     Approved  products are subject to continuing FDA  requirements  relating to
quality control and quality assurance,  maintenance of records and documentation
and labeling and promotion of medical devices.


     The FDA and foreign  regulatory  authorities  require  that our products be
manufactured according to rigorous standards.  These regulatory requirements may
significantly  increase our production or purchasing  costs and may even prevent
us from making or obtaining  our products in amounts  sufficient  to meet market
demand. If we, or a third party manufacturer,  change our approved manufacturing
process,  the FDA may require a new approval  before that process could be used.
Failure to develop our manufacturing capability may mean that even if we develop
promising  new  products,  we may not be able to produce them  profitably,  as a
result  of  delays  and  additional  capital  investment  costs.   Manufacturing
facilities,  both international and domestic, are also subject to inspections by
or  under  the  authority  of the FDA.  In  addition,  failure  to  comply  with
applicable  regulatory  requirements  could  subject us to  enforcement  action,
including  product  seizures,  recalls,  withdrawal  of clearances or approvals,
restrictions on or injunctions  against  marketing our product or products based
on our  technology,  and  civil  and  criminal  penalties.  We have  voluntarily
recalled  various  products in the last four years, but none of our recalls have
related to important  products or resulted in  significant  expense.  There have
been  no  involuntary  recalls  of  our  products.   See   "Business--Government
Regulation."


CERTAIN OF OUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN MATERIALS  DERIVED FROM ANIMAL SOURCES,  AND MAY
AS A RESULT BECOME SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL REGULATION.


     Certain of our products,  including the  DuraGen(R)  Dural Graft Matrix and
the INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template,  contain  material  derived from
animal tissue.  Products,  including food as well as pharmaceuticals and medical
devices,  that contain  materials  derived from animal sources are  increasingly
subject  to  scrutiny  in the  press  and by  regulatory  authorities,  who  are
concerned  about the potential for the  transmission  of disease from animals to
humans via those materials.  This public scrutiny has been particularly acute in
Western Europe with respect to products derived from cattle,  because of concern
that   materials   infected  with  the  agent  that  causes  bovine   spongiform
encephalopathy,  otherwise known as "BSE" or "mad cow disease," may, if ingested
or  implanted,  cause a  variant  of the  human  Creutzfeldt-Jakob  Disease,  an
ultimately fatal disease with no known cure.


     We take great  care to  provide  that our  products  are safe,  and free of
agents  that  can  cause  disease.  In  particular,  the  collagen  used  in the
manufacture  of our products is derived only from the Achilles  tendon of cattle
from the United States, where no cases of BSE have been reported. Scientists and
regulatory  authorities  classify Achilles tendon as having a negligible risk of
containing  the agent that causes BSE (an  improperly  folded protein known as a
prion) compared with other parts of the body. Additionally,  we use processes in
the manufacturing of our products that are believed to inactivate prions.


     Nevertheless,   products  that  contain  materials  derived  from  animals,
including our products, may become subject to additional regulation,  or even be
banned in certain  countries,  because of concern over the  potential  for prion
transmission.  Accordingly, new regulation, or a ban of our products, could have
a significant  adverse effect on our current business or our ability to increase
our business.


LACK OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE FOR OUR PRODUCTS OR MARKET PREFERENCE FOR TECHNOLOGIES
WHICH COMPETE WITH OUR PRODUCTS WOULD REDUCE OUR REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY.


     We cannot be certain that our current products,  or any other products that
we develop or market, will achieve or maintain market acceptance. Certain of the
medical  indications  that can be treated by our  devices can also be treated by
other medical  devices.  The medical  community  widely accepts many alternative
treatments,  and certain of these other  treatments  have a long history of use.
For example,  suturing in graft tissue is a  well-established  means for closing
the  duramatter,  and it may  interfere  with the  widespread  acceptance in the
market for INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration Template.

     We  cannot be  certain  that our  devices  and  procedures  will be able to
replace those  established  treatments or that either  physicians or the medical
community  in general  will accept and utilize our devices or any other  medical
products  that we may  develop.  For  example,  we  cannot be  certain  that the
NeuraGen(TM)  Nerve Guide, when launched  commercially,  will be accepted by the
medical  community  over  conventional  microsurgical  techniques for connecting
severed peripheral nerves.


                                       8




     In addition, our future success depends, in part, on our ability to develop
additional  products.  Even if we determine that a product candidate has medical
benefits,  the cost of commercializing that product candidate may be too high to
justify development. In addition, competitors may develop products that are more
effective,  cost  less,  or are ready for  commercial  introduction  before  our
products. If we are unable to develop additional,  commercially viable products,
it could adversely affect our future prospects.


     Market  acceptance of our products  depends on many factors,  including our
ability to convince prospective  collaborators and customers that our technology
is an attractive  alternative  to other  technologies,  manufacture  products in
sufficient quantities and at an acceptable cost and place and service, directly,
or through our strategic alliances,  sufficient  quantities of our products.  In
addition,  limited funding available for product and technology  acquisitions by
our customers,  as well as internal obstacles to customer approvals of purchases
of our products could harm our technology.  The industry is subject to rapid and
continuous   change  arising  from,  among  other  things,   consolidation   and
technological improvements. One or more of these factors may vary unpredictably,
which could materially adversely affect our competitive  position. We may not be
able to adjust our  contemplated  plan of  development  to meet changing  market
demands.

OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS SIGNIFICANTLY ON KEY RELATIONSHIPS WITH THIRD PARTIES WHICH
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN.


     Our revenue stream and our business strategy depend in part on our entering
into and  maintaining  collaborative  or alliance  agreements with third parties
concerning product marketing as well as research and development  programs.  Our
most  important  strategic  alliances  are our agreement  with Ethicon,  Inc., a
division of Johnson & Johnson, relating to INTEGRA Dermal Regeneration Template,
and our agreement with the Genetics Institute division of American Home Products
for the development of collagen matrices to be used in conjunction with Genetics
Institute's  recombinant  bone protein,  a protein that stimulates the growth of
bone in humans.  Termination of either of these  alliances would have an adverse
effect on our revenues and would  substantially  reduce our expectations for the
growth of our Integra LifeSciences division.


     Our ability to enter into agreements with collaborators  depends in part on
convincing them that our technology can help achieve and accelerate  their goals
and strategies.  This may require  substantial  time,  effort and expense on our
part with no guarantee that a strategic  relationship will result. We may not be
able to establish or maintain these  relationships  on  commercially  acceptable
terms. Our future agreements may not ultimately be successful.  Even if we enter
into  collaborative or alliance  agreements,  our collaborators  could terminate
these agreements or they could expire before meaningful developmental milestones
are reached.  The termination or expiration of any of these  relationships could
have a material adverse effect on our business.

     Much of the revenue  that we may receive  under these  collaborations  will
depend upon our  collaborators'  ability to successfully  introduce,  market and
sell new products  derived from our products.  Our success  depends in part upon
the performance by these  collaborators  of their  responsibilities  under these
agreements.

     Some collaborators may not perform their obligations as we expect.  Some of
the  companies we currently  have  alliances  with or are targeting as potential
alliances  offer  products   competitive   with  our  products  or  may  develop
competitive  production  technologies or competitive  products  outside of their
collaborations  with  us  that  could  have a  material  adverse  effect  on our
competitive  position.  In addition,  our role in the  collaborations  is mostly
limited to the production aspects.


     As a result, we may also be dependent on collaborators for other aspects of
the development,  preclinical and clinical testing,  regulatory approval, sales,
marketing  and   distribution  of  our  products.   If  our  current  or  future
collaborators  do not  effectively  market our  products  or develop  additional
products based on our technology,  it could  significantly  reduce our sales and
other revenues.


     Finally,  we have  received  and may  continue  to  receive  payments  from
collaborators  that may not be  immediately  recognized as revenue and therefore
may not contribute to reported profits until further conditions are satisfied.

                                       9



OUR  INTELLECTUAL   PROPERTY  RIGHTS  MAY  NOT  PROVIDE  MEANINGFUL   COMMERCIAL
PROTECTION  FOR OUR  PRODUCTS,  WHICH  COULD  ENABLE  THIRD  PARTIES  TO USE OUR
TECHNOLOGY OR VERY SIMILAR TECHNOLOGY AND COULD REDUCE OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE IN
THE MARKET.


     Our ability to compete  effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to
maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies and manufacturing processes,
which  includes  the  ability  to obtain,  protect  and  enforce  patents on our
technology  and to protect our trade  secrets.  We own or have licensed  patents
that cover significant aspects of the DuraGen(R), NeuraGen(TM) INTEGRA(R) Dermal
Regeneration Template(TM), Camino, Ventrix, LICOX, Selector, BioPatch, VitaCuff,
and Spembly  cryosurgical  product  lines.  However,  you should not rely on our
patents to provide us with any  significant  competitive  advantage.  Others may
challenge  our  patents  and,  as a  result,  our  patents  could  be  narrowed,
invalidated or rendered unenforceable.  Competitors may develop products similar
to ours which our  patents do not cover.  In  addition,  our  current and future
patent  applications  may not  result in the  issuance  of patents in the United
States or foreign countries.  Further,  there is a substantial backlog of patent
applications  at the U.S.  Patent and  Trademark  Office,  and the  approval  or
rejection of patent applications may take several years.


OUR  COMPETITIVE  POSITION IS DEPENDENT IN PART UPON  UNPATENTED  TRADE SECRETS,
WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT.


     Our competitive  position is also dependent upon unpatented  trade secrets.
Trade  secrets are  difficult to protect.  We cannot assure you that others will
not independently develop substantially  equivalent proprietary  information and
techniques  or  otherwise  gain  access to our trade  secrets,  that those trade
secrets will not be disclosed,  or that we can effectively protect our rights to
unpatented trade secrets.


     In an effort to protect our trade  secrets,  we have a policy of  requiring
our employees,  consultants and advisors to execute proprietary  information and
invention  assignment  agreements upon  commencement of employment or consulting
relationships   with  us.  These   agreements   provide  that  all  confidential
information developed or made known to the individual during the course of their
relationship   with  us  must  be  kept   confidential,   except  in   specified
circumstances. We cannot assure you, however, that these agreements will provide
meaningful protection for our trade secrets or other proprietary  information in
the event of the unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information.

OUR SUCCESS WILL DEPEND PARTLY ON OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE  WITHOUT  INFRINGING OR
MISAPPROPRIATING THE PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF OTHERS.

     We may be sued for infringing the  intellectual  property rights of others.
In addition,  we may find it  necessary,  if  threatened,  to initiate a lawsuit
seeking a  declaration  from a court  that we do not  infringe  the  proprietary
rights of others or that these rights are invalid or unenforceable. If we do not
prevail in any  litigation,  in addition to any damages we might have to pay, we
would be  required  to stop the  infringing  activity  or obtain a license.  Any
required  license may not be available to us on acceptable  terms, or at all. In
addition, some licenses may be nonexclusive, and, therefore, our competitors may
have  access  to the same  technology  licensed  to us.  If we fail to  obtain a
required  license or are unable to design  around a patent,  we may be unable to
sell some of our  products,  which could have a material  adverse  effect on our
revenues and profitability.

WE MAY BE INVOLVED IN LAWSUITS TO PROTECT OR ENFORCE OUR  INTELLECTUAL  PROPERTY
RIGHTS, WHICH MAY BE EXPENSIVE.


     In order to protect or enforce our  intellectual  property  rights,  we may
have to initiate legal proceedings  against third parties,  such as infringement
suits or interference  proceedings.  Intellectual property litigation is costly,
and,  even  if we  prevail,  the  cost  of  that  litigation  could  affect  our
profitability.  In  addition,  litigation  is time  consuming  and could  divert
management  attention and resources away from our business.  We may also provoke
these third parties to assert claims against us.

     In July 1996, we filed a patent  infringement  lawsuit in the United States
District  Court for the Southern  District of  California  against Merck KGaA, a
German  corporation,   Scripps  Research  Institute,   a  California   nonprofit
corporation,  and David A. Cheresh,  Ph.D.,  a research  scientist with Scripps,
seeking  damages and  injunctive  relief.  The  complaint  charged,  among other
things,  that the defendant Merck KGaA willfully and deliberately  induced,  and
continues to willfully and  deliberately  induce,  defendants  Scripps  Research
Institute  and  Dr.  David  A.  Cheresh  to  infringe  certain  of our  patents.


                                       10




This case went to trial in February 2000, and on March 17, 2000, a jury returned
a unanimous verdict for us finding that Merck KGaA had infringed and induced the
infringement  of our  patents,  and  awarded  $15,000,000  in  damages.  Various
post-trial motions are pending.  The litigation has cost in excess of $6,000,000
to date. Lower levels of expenditures are expected on an ongoing basis until its
conclusion. See "Business Legal Proceedings."


WE ARE  EXPOSED TO A VARIETY OF RISKS  RELATING TO OUR  INTERNATIONAL  SALES AND
OPERATIONS, INCLUDING FLUCTUATIONS IN EXCHANGE RATES AND DELAYS IN COLLECTION OF
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.


     We generate  significant  sales  outside the United  States,  a substantial
portion  of which  are  U.S.  dollar  denominated  transactions  conducted  with
customers who generate revenue in currencies  other than the U.S.  dollar.  As a
result,  currency  fluctuations  between the U.S.  dollar and the  currencies in
which  those  customers  do  business  may have an impact on the  demand for our
products in foreign  countries where the U.S.  dollar has increased  compared to
the local currency.  We cannot predict the effects of exchange rate fluctuations
upon our future operating results because of the number of currencies  involved,
the  variability of currency  exposure and the potential  volatility of currency
exchange rates.

     Because we have  operating  subsidiaries  based in Europe  and we  generate
certain revenues and incur certain operating  expenses in British Pounds and the
Euro, we will  experience  currency  exchange risk with respect to those foreign
currency  denominated  revenues or  expenses.  Although  product  sales in these
currencies  amounted  to less  than 5% of our total  product  sales for the year
ended  December 31, 2000, we expect that the amount of sales  denominated in the
British  Pound and Euro will  increase as a percentage of total sales because of
recent  acquisitions  of European  companies and our decision to sell  directly,
rather than through distributors, in major European countries.


     Relationships with customers and effective terms of sale frequently vary by
country,  often  with  longer-term  receivables  than are  typical in the United
States.

CHANGES IN THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY MAY REQUIRE US TO DECREASE THE SELLING PRICE
FOR OUR  PRODUCTS OR COULD  RESULT IN A REDUCTION  IN THE SIZE OF THE MARKET FOR
OUR PRODUCTS, AND LIMIT THE MEANS BY WHICH WE MAY DISCOUNT OUR PRODUCTS, EACH OF
WHICH COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE.

     Trends toward managed care, health care cost containment, and other changes
in  government  and private  sector  initiatives  in the United States and other
countries in which we do business are placing increased emphasis on the delivery
of more  cost-effective  medical  therapies that could adversely affect the sale
and/or the prices of our products. For example:

     o    major third-party  payors of hospital  services,  including  Medicare,
          Medicaid and private health care insurers,  have substantially revised
          their payment methodologies,  which has resulted in stricter standards
          for reimbursement of hospital charges for certain medical procedures;

     o    Medicare,  Medicaid  and private  health care insurer  cutbacks  could
          create downward price pressure;

     o    numerous legislative  proposals have been considered that would result
          in major  reforms in the U.S.  health  care  system that could have an
          adverse effect on our business;

     o    there  has been a  consolidation  among  health  care  facilities  and
          purchasers of medical devices in the United States who prefer to limit
          the number of suppliers from whom they purchase medical products,  and
          these  entities may decide to stop  purchasing  our products or demand
          discounts on our prices;

     o    there  is  economic   pressure   to  contain   health  care  costs  in
          international markets;

     o    there are proposed and existing laws and  regulations  in domestic and
          international   markets   regulating   pricing  and  profitability  of
          companies in the health care industry; and

                                       11



     o    there have been  initiatives  by third party payors to  challenge  the
          prices charged for medical  products which could affect our ability to
          sell products on a competitive basis.

     Both the  pressure to reduce  prices for our  products in response to these
trends and the  decrease  in the size of the market as a result of these  trends
could adversely affect our levels of revenues and profitability of sales.


     In  addition,  there are laws and  regulations  that  regulate the means by
which  companies  in the health care  industry  may compete by  discounting  the
prices of their products.  Although we exercise care in structuring our customer
discount  arrangements  to comply  with  those laws and  regulations,  we cannot
assure you that:

     o    government  officials charged with  responsibility for enforcing those
          laws will not assert that these customer discount  arrangements are in
          violation of those laws or regulations, or

     o    government   regulators  or  courts  will  interpret   those  laws  or
          regulations in a manner consistent with our interpretation.


OUR  DEPENDENCE  ON  SUPPLIERS  FOR  MATERIALS   COULD  IMPAIR  OUR  ABILITY  TO
MANUFACTURE OUR PRODUCTS.


     Outside  vendors,  some of whom  are  sole-source  suppliers,  provide  key
components and raw materials used in the  manufacture of our products.  Although
we believe that  alternative  sources for these components and raw materials are
available,  any supply interruption in a limited or sole source component or raw
material could harm our ability to  manufacture  our products until a new source
of supply is identified and  qualified.  In addition,  an uncorrected  defect or
supplier's  variation in a component or raw  material,  either  unknown to us or
incompatible  with  our  manufacturing   process,  could  harm  our  ability  to
manufacture  products.  We may  not be able  to  find a  sufficient  alternative
supplier in a reasonable time period, or on commercially reasonable terms, if at
all,  and our ability to produce and supply our products  could be impaired.  We
believe  that these  factors  are most  likely to affect our Camino and  Ventrix
lines of  intra-cranial  pressure  monitors and  catheters,  which are assembled
using many different  electronic parts from numerous suppliers.  While it is our
policy to maintain  sufficient  inventory of components that our production will
not be significantly disrupted even if a particular component or material is not
available  for a period  of time,  we remain at risk that we will not be able to
qualify new  components or materials  quickly  enough to prevent a disruption if
one or more  of our  suppliers  cease  production  of  important  components  or
materials.  While we rely on a single  supplier for cattle  tendon (which is our
source of collagen for many Life  Sciences  products),  we believe it is readily
available in adequate quantities from other suppliers.


IF ANY OF OUR  MANUFACTURING  FACILITIES  WERE DAMAGED AND/OR OUR  MANUFACTURING
PROCESSES INTERRUPTED,  WE COULD EXPERIENCE LOST REVENUES AND OUR BUSINESS COULD
BE SERIOUSLY HARMED.


     We manufacture  our products in a limited  number of facilities.  Damage to
our  manufacturing,  development  or research  facilities  due to fire,  natural
disaster, power loss, communications failure, unauthorized entry or other events
could  cause us to cease  development  and  manufacturing  of some or all of our
products.  In particular,  our San Diego,  California facility that manufactures
our Camino and Ventrix  product line is as susceptible to earthquake  damage and
power losses from electrical  shortages as are other  businesses in the Southern
California  area.  Our silicone  manufacturing  plant in Anasco,  Puerto Rico is
vulnerable to hurricane damage.


WE MAY HAVE  SIGNIFICANT  PRODUCT  LIABILITY  EXPOSURE AND OUR INSURANCE MAY NOT
COVER ALL POTENTIAL CLAIMS.


     We face an inherent  business  risk of exposure  to product  liability  and
other claims in the event that our  technologies or products are alleged to have
caused harm. We may not be able to obtain insurance for the potential  liability
on  acceptable  terms  with  adequate  coverage,  or at  reasonable  costs.  Any
potential  product  liability  claims could  exceed the amount of our  insurance
coverage or may be excluded  from  coverage  under the terms of the policy.  Our
insurance may not be renewed at a cost and level of coverage  comparable to that
then in effect.


WE ARE SUBJECT TO OTHER REGULATORY  REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
AND  SAFETY AND THE USE OF  HAZARDOUS  SUBSTANCES  WHICH MAY IMPOSE  SIGNIFICANT
COMPLIANCE COSTS ON US.

                                       12




     We are  subject  to  regulation  under  federal  and state  laws  regarding
occupational health and safety,  laboratory practices, and the use, handling and
disposal  of  toxic or  hazardous  substances.  Our  research,  development  and
manufacturing   processes  involve  the  controlled  use  of  certain  hazardous
materials.  Although we believe  that our safety  procedures  for  handling  and
disposing of those  materials  comply with the standards  prescribed by the laws
and  regulations,  the risk of  accidental  contamination  or injury  from these
materials cannot be completely eliminated.  In the event of such an accident, we
could be held liable for any damages that result and any related liability could
exceed the limits or fall outside the coverage of our insurance and could exceed
our resources.  We may not be able to maintain insurance on acceptable terms, or
at all. We may incur  significant  costs to comply with  environmental  laws and
regulations in the future.  We may also be subject to other present and possible
future local, state, federal and foreign regulations.


THE LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

     We believe our success depends on the  contributions of a number of our key
personnel, including Stuart M. Essig, our President and Chief Executive Officer.
If we lose the services of key personnel,  that loss could  materially  harm our
business.  We maintain "key person" life  insurance on Mr.  Essig.  In addition,
recruiting  and retaining  qualified  personnel will be critical to our success.
There is a shortage  in the  industry of  qualified  management  and  scientific
personnel,  and competition for these individuals is intense.  We can not assure
you that we will be able to attract  additional  personnel  and retain  existing
personnel.

FUTURE SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY DEPRESS OUR STOCK PRICE.

     Sales of our common stock  following the offering,  or the perception  that
these sales could  occur,  could cause the market  price of our common  stock to
decline and impair our ability to raise additional capital in the future through
the sale of equity  securities.  Presently,  _________ shares, and ______ shares
after giving effect to the offering  (assuming the underwriters'  over-allotment
option is exercised),  of the common stock held by our current  stockholders are
"restricted  securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act
of 1933.  Of these  shares,  after giving  effect to the offering  (assuming the
underwriters'  over-allotment  option  is not  exercised),  shares  will  not be
eligible for resale under Rule 144 until _________.  Holders of _______ of these
shares have customary  registration  rights to require us to register the resale
of  their  shares.  These  shares  may be  resold  only in  compliance  with the
registration  requirements  of the  Securities  Act or pursuant to an  exemption
therefrom.  All  holders  of  these  restricted  securities  have  entered  into
registration rights agreements with us, pursuant to which we have agreed that we
will  register  under the  Securities  Act,  shares of common stock held by such
stockholders  upon their  demand to  register  shares  with a minimum  aggregate
value. The registration  rights  agreements also provide such  stockholders with
"piggy-back"  registration  rights.  Furthermore,  we have registered  8,505,000
shares of common stock  reserved for issuance to our  employees,  directors  and
consultants under our stock award and employee benefit plans. Of this amount, as
of June 30, 2001, approximately 6,553,000 shares were held in reserve for future
issuance.

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY  CONTINUE TO BE HIGHLY  VOLATILE  AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
RESELL YOUR SHARES AT OR ABOVE THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR THEM.


     The  stock  market in  general,  and the stock  prices  of  medical  device
companies,  biotechnology  companies  and other  technology-based  companies  in
particular,   have  experienced  significant  volatility  that  often  has  been
unrelated to the operating performance of and beyond the control of any specific
public companies.  The market price of our common stock has fluctuated widely in
the past and is likely to continue to fluctuate in the future.  The high and low
market  prices of our common stock from June 30, 1999 through June 30, 2001 were
$22.450 per share on June 30, 2001 and $5.375 per share on  December  28,  1999,
respectively,  and the high and low market prices of our common stock during the
fiscal  quarter ended June 30, 2001 were $22.450 per share on June 29, 2001, and
$11.40 per share on April 16,  2001,  respectively.  See "Price  Range of Common
Stock and Dividends."  Factors that may have a significant  impact on the market
price of our common stock include:


     o    actual  financial   results   differing  from  guidance   provided  by
          management;

     o    actual  financial  results  differing from that expected by securities
          analysts;

     o    future announcements  concerning us or our competitors,  including the
          announcement of acquisitions;

     o    changes in the prospects of our business partners or suppliers;

     o    developments  regarding  our  patents or other  proprietary  rights or
          those of our competitors;

     o    quality deficiencies in our products;

     o    competitive developments, including technological innovations by us or
          our competitors;

     o    government regulation,  including the FDA's review of our products and
          developments;



     o    changes in recommendations of securities  analysts and rumors that may
          be circulated about us or our competitors;

     o    public perception of risks associated with our operations;

     o    conditions  or  trends  in  the  medical   device  and   biotechnology
          industries;

     o    additions or departures of key personnel; and

     o    sales of our common stock.

Any of these factors could  immediately,  significantly and adversely affect the
trading price of our common stock.

WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

     We do not  anticipate  paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the
foreseeable  future.  We intend to retain  future  earnings  to fund our growth.
Accordingly,  you will not  receive a return on your


                                       13



investment  in  our  common  stock  through  the  payment  of  dividends  in the
foreseeable  future and may not realize a return on your  investment even if you
sell your shares.  As a result,  you may not be able to resell your shares at or
above the price you paid for them.

OUR MAJOR STOCKHOLDERS COULD MAKE DECISIONS ADVERSE TO YOUR INTERESTS.


     Our directors and executive  officers and  affiliates of certain  directors
own or control,  and after the completion of an offering of our common stock may
still own or control,  a majority of our outstanding voting securities and would
be generally able to elect all directors,  to determine the outcome of corporate
actions  requiring  stockholder  approval and otherwise to control the business.
This  control  could  preclude  any  unsolicited   acquisition  of  Integra  and
consequently adversely affect the market price of the common stock. Furthermore,
we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware  General  Corporation  Law,  which
could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control.


OUR  MANAGEMENT  WILL  HAVE  BROAD  DISCRETION  IN USING THE  PROCEEDS  FROM ANY
OFFERING  AND,  THEREFORE,  INVESTORS  WILL BE  RELYING ON THE  JUDGMENT  OF OUR
MANAGEMENT TO INVEST THOSE FUNDS EFFECTIVELY.

     We intend to use the net  proceeds of any  offering  for general  corporate
purposes,  which could  include,  among other  things,  expanding  our sales and
marketing  resources,  including  expanding  our  business  in Europe  and Asia,
developing  new  technologies  and  products, and for working  capital and other
general corporate  purposes.  The amounts and timing of these  expenditures will
vary significantly  depending upon a number of factors,  including the amount of
cash generated or consumed by our  operations,  the progress of our research and
development  activities and the market  response to the  introduction of any new
products and  services.  In  addition,  we may use a portion of the net proceeds
from this  offering to acquire or invest in  businesses,  products,  services or
technologies   complementary   to  our  current   business,   through   mergers,
acquisitions,  joint  ventures or otherwise.  Our  management  will retain broad
discretion  with  respect to the  expenditure  of  proceeds.  Investors  will be
relying on the  judgment of our  management  regarding  the  application  of the
proceeds of this offering.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

     We expect to use the net  proceeds  received  by us from the sale of common
stock under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which could include,
among other things,  acquisition  of product  lines or  companies,  repayment of
indebtedness,  expanding our sales and marketing resources,  including expanding
our  international  business,  developing new  technologies and products and for
working capital and other general corporate purposes. Pending application of the
net  proceeds,  we may invest the net proceeds in short term,  interest  bearing
investments.  We will not receive any proceeds  from the sale of common stock by
any stockholder.

     The closing  price for the common stock on July 5, 2001 was $22.80.  We had
825 stockholders of record as of July 5, 2001.


     We do not currently  pay any cash  dividends on our common stock and do not
anticipate paying any of these dividends in the foreseeable  future.  Any future
payment of dividends to our stockholders will depend on decisions that our board
of directors  will make and will depend on then existing  conditions,  including
our financial  condition,  contractual  restrictions,  capital  requirements and
business prospects.

                                    DILUTION

     The  tangible  net book value of our common  stock as of June 30,  2001 was
approximately  $______ or $_______ per share of common stock.  Tangible net book
value per share represents the amount of our convertible preferred stock, common
stock and other stockholders' equity, less intangible assets,  divided by shares
of our common stock  outstanding.  Purchasers  of common stock in this  offering
will have an immediate dilution of tangible net book value.

     Tangible  net book  value  dilution  per share  represents  the  difference
between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of common stock in the
offering and the pro forma tangible net book value per share of the common stock
immediately  after  completion  of the  offering.  After  giving  effect  to the
issuance and sale of 4,312,500 shares of common stock in the offering  (assuming
the underwriters'  overallotment option is exercised) at a public offering price
of  $______  per  share,  and after  deduction  of  underwriting  discounts  and
commissions  and estimated  offering  expenses,  the pro forma tangible net book
value of Integra as of June 30, 2001 was approximately  $_______, or $______ per
share of common stock.  This  represents  an immediate  increase in tangible net
book  value of  $______  per share to  existing  stockholders  and an  immediate
dilution of tangible net book value of $______ per share to purchasers of common
stock in the offering, as illustrated in the following table:

                      SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

     The  selected  financial  data as of and for each of the five  years  ended
December 31 has been derived from  consolidated  financial  statements that have

----------
(1)  As the result of our  acquisitions  of Rystan  Company,  Inc. in  September
     1998, the NeuroCare Group of companies in March 1999 and the acquisition of
     Clinical  Neuro Systems and product  lines from NMT Medical,  Inc. in 2000,
     the  consolidated  financial  results and balance sheet data for certain of
     the periods presented above may not be directly comparable.


(2)  General  and  administrative  expense  in 2000  included  a  $13.5  million
     stock-based  compensation  charge in  connection  with the extension of the
     employment of the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.  General
     and  administrative  expense in 1997  include the  following  two  non-cash
     charges:  (a) $1.0 million related to an asset impairment  charge;  and (b)
     $5.9  million  related to a  stock-based  signing  bonus for the  Company's
     President and Chief Executive Officer.


(3)  The 1999 income tax  benefit  includes a non-cash  benefit of $1.8  million
     resulting from the reduction of the deferred tax liability  recorded in the
     NeuroCare  Group of companies  acquisition to the extent that  consolidated
     deferred tax assets were generated subsequent to the acquisition.  The 2000
     income tax expense and 1999 income tax  benefit  include  $0.5  million and
     $0.6 million,  respectively,  of benefits  associated  with the sale of New
     Jersey state net operating losses.


(4)  As the result of the adoption of SAB 101, we recorded a $470,000 cumulative
     effect  of an  accounting  change to defer a  portion  of a  nonrefundable,
     up-front fee received and recorded in other revenue in 1998. The cumulative
     effect of this  accounting  change was measured as of January 1, 2000. As a
     result of this accounting  change,  other revenue in 2000 includes $112,000
     of amortization of the amount deferred as of January 1, 2000.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE FOLLOWING  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS IS BASED UPON OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS
OF THE DATES AND FOR THE PERIODS PRESENTED IN THIS SECTION. YOU SHOULD READ THIS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED
NOTES CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

OVERVIEW

     We  develop,   manufacture  and  market  medical   devices,   implants  and
biomaterials. Our operations consist of:

          o    Integra  NeuroSciences,  which is a leading provider of implants,
               devices,  and monitors  used in  neurosurgery,  neurotrauma,  and
               related critical care; and

          o    Integra  LifeSciences,  which develops and manufactures a variety
               of medical products and devices,  including products based on our
               proprietary  tissue  regeneration  technology  which  are used to
               treat soft tissue and orthopedic conditions.

Integra  NeuroSciences  sells primarily through a direct sales  organization and
Integra   LifeSciences   sells  primarily   through   strategic   alliances  and
distributors.


     In 1999, we initiated a repositioning of our business to focus  selectively
on  attractive  niche  markets.  Implementation  of this  strategy  included the
purchase of the NeuroCare  Group of companies in March 1999 and the execution of
an agreement  with Johnson & Johnson  Medical,  (now merged into  Ethicon)  that
provides Ethicon with exclusive  marketing and distribution rights to INTEGRA(R)
Dermal Regeneration  Template  worldwide,  excluding Japan. As a result of these
transactions,  we formed our Integra  NeuroSciences  segment and reorganized the
remainder of our products into our Integra  LifeSciences  segment. The agreement
with  Ethicon  allowed the Integra  LifeSciences  segment to focus on  strategic
collaborative  initiatives.  The Integra  LifeSciences segment now operates as a
provider of innovative  products and development  activities  through  strategic
alliances  with  marketing  partners  and  distributors.  As a  result  of these
activities,  our segment  financial results for each of the years 2000, 1999 and
1998 and for the  first  three  months  of 2001 and  2000,  may not be  directly
comparable.

     To date, we have experienced  significant operating losses and may continue
to incur these  losses  unless  product  sales and  research  and  collaborative
arrangements  generate sufficient revenue to fund continuing  operations.  As of
March 31, 2001 we had an accumulated deficit of $103.7 million.


RECENT ACQUISITIONS

     On  March  29,  1999  we  acquired   certain   assets  and  stock  held  by
Heyer-Schulte  NeuroCare,  L.P. and its subsidiaries,  Heyer-Schulte  NeuroCare,
Inc., Camino NeuroCare,  Inc. and Neuro  Navigational,  LLC  (collectively,  the
"NeuroCare  Group") through our  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  NeuroCare  Holding
Corporation,  Integra  NeuroCare LLC and Redmond  NeuroCare  LLC  (collectively,
"Integra  NeuroCare").  The purchase price for the NeuroCare  Group consisted of
$14.2  million in cash and  approximately  $11  million of assumed  indebtedness
under a term loan from Fleet Capital  Corporation.  The NeuroCare Group's assets
include a  manufacturing,  packaging  and  distribution  facility  in San Diego,
California  and a  manufacturing  facility in Anasco,  Puerto Rico, as well as a
corporate  headquarters in Pleasant Prairie,  Wisconsin,  which we closed in the
third quarter of 1999.


     On January 17, 2000, we purchased the business,  including  certain  assets
and liabilities,  of Clinical Neuro Systems, Inc. for $6.8 million. CNS designs,
manufactures and sells  neurosurgical  external  ventricular  drainage  systems,
including  catheters  and drainage  bags,  as well as cranial  access kits.  The
purchase  price of the CNS  business  consisted of $4.0 million in cash and a 5%
$2.8 million promissory note issued to the seller. The promissory note, of which
approximately $1.4 million remains outstanding,  is collateralized by inventory,
property and  equipment of the CNS business and by a collateral  assignment of a
$2.8 million promissory note from one of our subsidiaries.


                                       19




     On  April  6,  2000,  we  purchased  the  Selector(R)Ultrasonic  Aspirator,
Ruggles(TM) hand-held neurosurgical  instruments and Spembly Medical cryosurgery
product lines, including certain assets and liabilities,  from NMT Medical, Inc.
for $11.6 million in cash.


     On April 4, 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding  stock of GMSmbH,  the
German  manufacturer of the LICOX(R) Brain Tissue Oxygen Monitoring  System, for
$2.9  million,  of  which  $2.3  million  was  paid  at  closing.  Prior  to the
acquisition,  our Integra NeuroSciences  division had exclusive marketing rights
to the  LICOX(R)  products  in the United  States  and  certain  other  markets.
Revenues of the acquired GMS business were  approximately  $1.2 million in 2000,
consisting primarily of sales of the LICOX(R) products in Germany and to various
international distributors, including Integra.


     On April 27,  2001,  we  acquired  Satelec  Medical,  a  subsidiary  of the
Satelec-Pierre  Rolland group, for $3.6 million in cash. Satelec Medical,  based
in France,  manufactures  and  markets  the  Dissectron(R)  ultrasonic  surgical
aspirator  console  and a broad line of related  handpieces.  The  Dissectron(R)
product is the leading  ultrasonic  surgical system in France. The Dissectron(R)
product has FDA 510(k)  clearance  for  neurosurgical  applications  and CE Mark
Certification  in the European  Union.  Revenues of the acquired  business  were
approximately $1.5 million in 2000.

     These  acquisitions  have been  accounted for using the purchase  method of
accounting,  and the consolidated  financial  statements  include the results of
operations  of  the  acquired   businesses   since  their  respective  dates  of
acquisition.

     Consolidated gross margin percentage.........      58%              50%


     In the first quarter of 2001,  total revenues  increased  $7.2 million,  or
49%, over the first quarter of 2000 to $21.7 million.  Revenue growth was led by
a $7.0 million  increase in product sales to $20.3 million,  a 52% increase over
the first  quarter of 2000.  Included in this increase was $2.8 million in sales
of acquired NMT Medical,  Inc. product lines. Sales in the Integra NeuroSciences
division  increased  $5.7 million to $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2001,
and included $2.3 million in sales of acquired NMT Medical,  Inc. product lines.
Increased  sales  of  the  DuraGen(R)  Dural  Graft  Matrix,   our  intracranial
monitoring  and cranial  access  products for the neuro  intensive care unit and
hydrocephalus  management products,  contributed to the strong organic growth of
$3.4  million in the Integra  NeuroSciences  division.  Gross  margin on Integra
NeuroSciences'  product sales increased 8 percentage  points to 61% in the first
quarter  of 2001  through  an  improved  sales  mix of higher  margin  products,
including the DuraGen(R)  product and acquired  product lines.  The gross margin
reported  for the  first  quarter  of 2000 was  reduced  by 1  percentage  point
relating to fair value inventory  purchase  accounting  adjustments  recorded in
connection with the CNS acquisition.


     Future product sales in the Integra NeuroSciences  division are expected to
benefit from organic  growth in the  division's  existing  product lines and the
recent  launch of the LICOX(R)  Brain Tissue  Oxygen  Monitoring  System and the
Ventrix(R) True Tech Tunneling Catheter for intracranial pressure monitoring.


     Sales of Integra  LifeSciences  division products increased $1.3 million to
$5.8 million in the first quarter of 2001 primarily because of organic growth in
our private  label  products  and $0.5 million in sales of acquired NMT Medical,
Inc. product lines.  Sales of private label products can vary significantly from
quarter to quarter and are dependent upon the efforts of our strategic marketing
partners.  Gross  margin on Integra  LifeSciences'  product  sales  increased  5
percentage points to 49% in the first quarter of 2001 primarily as a result of a
more favorable sales mix.


     Other  revenue,  which  increased $0.2 million to $1.4 million in the first
quarter of 2001,  consisted of $0.9 million of research and development  funding
from strategic partners and government  grants,  $0.3 million of royalty income,
and $0.2 million of license and distribution revenues.

     In the Integra  NeuroSciences  division,  research and development expenses
increased  as compared  to the first  quarter of 2000 as a result of the ongoing
Phase III clinical trials on the peripheral nerve conduit that were initiated in
the second quarter of 2000 and the completion of development  activities related
to the Ventrix(R) True Tech Catheter.

     The future  allocation and timing of research and development  expenditures

     Integra NeuroSciences selling and marketing expenses increased $1.8 million
as compared to the first  quarter of 2000  primarily  because of the increase in
the direct sales force in the United States  throughout  2000 and into 2001 from
18 to 44  neurospecialists.  Additional increases were related to a distribution
facility  located in the United  Kingdom  that was  acquired in the NMT Medical,
Inc. acquisition.


     Within the  Integra  LifeSciences  division,  product  sales and  marketing
activities are primarily the responsibility of our strategic  marketing partners
and distributors.

     The $0.5 million decrease in corporate general and administrative  expenses
was primarily the result of decreased  legal fees associated with the conclusion
of the Merck KGaA patent  infringement  trial at the end of the first quarter of
2000.

     Other  income  (expense),  net for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000,
included $176,000 of gain on sale of investments.

     The provision for income taxes  increased  $184,000 in the first quarter of
2001 to  $246,000,  or 11% of  pre-tax  net  income,  which  is our  anticipated
effective rate for the year ended December 31, 2001.

                                       22



     Net income for the first  quarter  of 2001 was $2.0  million,  or $0.07 per
share.  Net loss for the first  quarter of 2000 was $1.5  million,  or $0.35 per
share.  The net loss per share for the first  quarter of 2000  includes the $4.2
million   beneficial   conversion   feature  associated  with  the  issuance  of
convertible  preferred  stock and common stock warrants in March 2000,  which is
treated as a non-cash  dividend in computing per share earnings.  The beneficial
conversion  feature  is based  upon the  excess of the  price of the  underlying
common  stock as  compared  to the  fixed  conversion  price of the  convertible
preferred  stock,  after taking into account the value assigned to the warrants.
Included  in the  first  quarter  net loss of $1.5  million  was a $0.5  million
cumulative effect of an accounting change,  $0.1 million of fair value inventory
purchase  accounting  adjustments,  and a $0.1  million  gain  on the  sale of a
product line.  Excluding these items and the $4.2 million beneficial  conversion
feature associated with the convertible  preferred stock, the loss per share for
the first quarter of 2000 would have been $0.08.

INTERNATIONAL PRODUCT SALES AND OPERATIONS

     In the first quarter of 2001, sales to customers  outside the United States
totaled  $4.4  million,   or  21%  of  consolidated   product  sales,  of  which
approximately  55% were to Europe.  Of this amount,  $1.3 million of these sales
were  generated  in foreign  currencies  from our  subsidiary  based in Andover,
England.  Our  international  sales and  operations  are  subject to the risk of
foreign  currency  fluctuations,  both in  terms of  exchange  risk  related  to
transactions  conducted in foreign  currencies  and the price of our products in
those markets for which sales are denominated in the U.S. dollar.

     In the first quarter of 2000, sales to customers  outside the United States
totaled  $2.7  million,   or  20%  of  consolidated   product  sales,  of  which
approximately 39% were to Europe.


     We seek to increase our presence in international markets,  particularly in
Europe,  through acquisitions of businesses with an existing international sales
and  marketing   infrastructure   or  the  capacity  to  develop  this  type  of
infrastructure.   We  acquired   operations  in  Germany  and  France  with  the
acquisitions of GMS and Satelec Medical in April 2001.

     Total product sales increased $24.9 million, or 62%, in 2000, with sales of
product lines acquired in 2000  accounting  for $11.2  million,  or 28%, of this
increase.  Sales  growth  for  the  year  was led by the  Integra  NeuroSciences
division,  which reported an increase of $22.4 million,  or 100%, from the prior
year.  Included  in this  increase  was $9.6  million of sales of product  lines
acquired in 2000. A $5.5 million  increase in sales of the  DuraGen(R)  product,
which was launched in the third quarter of 1999,  and organic growth in products
acquired in the NeuroCare Group of companies acquisition at the end of the first
quarter of 1999  resulted in the  remainder  of this  increase.  Adjusted  gross
margin on Integra  NeuroSciences' product sales increased 7 percentage points to
58% in 2000 through an improved sales mix of higher margin  products,  including
the  DuraGen(R)  product and product lines  acquired in 2000. The adjusted gross
margin excludes fair value inventory purchase accounting adjustments recorded in
connection with the acquisitions.

     Sales in the Integra LifeSciences  division increased $2.5 million, or 14%,
in 2000,  with sales of a distributed  product line acquired in 2000  accounting
for $1.6  million of this  increase.  The  remainder  of this  increase  relates
primarily to higher sales of private label  products,  with  increased  sales of
orthopedic  biomaterials  to our  strategic  partners for use in their  clinical
trials being slightly  offset by lower sales of INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration
Template.  Sales of INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration Template decreased because of
the lower  transfer  price to  Ethicon  beginning  in the  second  half of 1999.
Adjusted gross margin on Integra  LifeSciences' product sales increased from 48%
to 49% in 2000.  The  improvement  in gross  margins  was  primarily  related to
increased capacity  utilization and increased sales of higher margin products in
2000,  both of which  were  offset by the lower  gross  margins  on sales of the
INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template  through Ethicon and sales of a lower
margin distributed product line acquired in 2000.


     Other  revenue,  which  increased  $3.9  million  to $6.7  million in 2000,
consisted  of $2.8 million of research and  development  funding from  strategic
partners and government grants, $2.3 million of license, distribution, and other
event-related revenues from strategic partners and other third parties, and $1.6
million of royalty income.

        Total .........................................  $ 7,524   $ 8,893


     Research  and  development  expense in the  Integra  NeuroSciences  segment
increased  in 2000  primarily  because  there  was a full year of  research  and
development  activities from the acquired  NeuroCare Group of companies business
in 2000.  Significant  ongoing research and development  programs of our Integra
NeuroSciences  segment  include  the  development  of  the  next  generation  of
intra-cranial  monitors and catheters and shunting products and the continuation
of clinical  trials  involving the  NeuraGen(TM)  Nerve Guide,  a  bioabsorbable
collagen  conduit  designed  to support  guided  regeneration  of severed  nerve
tissues.

     Research and development activities within the Integra LifeSciences segment
decreased  in 2000  primarily  because of the  elimination  of several  non-core
research  programs   throughout  1999,   reductions  in  headcount  in  our  New
Jersey-based  research group,  and reduced  spending in the articular  cartilage
program.  Offsetting these decreases were additional research activities related
to  the  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template  program  that  Ethicon  and
government grants funded. The agreement with Ethicon,  provides us with research
funding of $2.0  million  per year  through the year 2004.  Significant  ongoing
research and development  programs in the Integra  LifeSciences  segment include
clinical and development  activities  related to INTEGRA(R) Dermal  Regeneration
Template,  additional  applications for our orthopedic  technologies,  and other
activities involving our tissue regeneration technologies.


     The future  allocation and timing of research and development  expenditures
between segments and programs will vary depending on various factors,  including
the  timing  and  outcome  of  pre-clinical  and  clinical   results,   changing
competitive  conditions,  continued  program funding levels,  potential  funding
opportunities and determinations with respect to the commercial potential of our
technologies.

        Total .........................................  $15,371   $ 9,487

     Integra NeuroSciences selling and marketing expense increased significantly
because of a large  increase  in the  direct  sales  force to over 50  personnel
throughout  2000,  increased sales from acquired  products and organic growth in
existing products, and increased tradeshow  participation.  Through acquisitions
and recruiting of experienced personnel,  the Integra NeuroSciences division has
developed a leading sales and marketing infrastructure to market its products to
neurosurgeons  and  critical  care  units,  which  comprise  a focused  group of
hospital-based  practitioners.  A  further  increase  in  Integra  NeuroSciences
selling  and  marketing  expense  is  expected  in  2001,  as  continuing  costs
associated  with the larger  direct  sales force and the  national  distribution
center opened in the second quarter of 2000 impact the full year 2001 results.


     The  decrease in Integra  LifeSciences  selling and  marketing  expenses is
primarily  the  result  of the  transition  of  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration
Template  selling and marketing  activities  to Ethicon in June 1999,  offset by
costs associated with the opening of our new national distribution center in New
Jersey.

        Total .........................................  $28,483   $13,324


     Integra NeuroSciences general and administrative expenses increased in 2000
primarily   because  of  acquisitions  and  an  allowance   recorded  against  a
distributor's accounts receivable balance.  Offsetting these increases were $1.0
million of severance  costs  incurred in 1999 in connection  with the closure of
the corporate headquarters of NeuroCare Group of companies in July 1999. General
and administrative expense in the Integra LifeSciences segment increased in 2000
primarily  due  to  additional  headcount  and  acquisitions.  The  increase  in
corporate  general  and  administrative  expenses  in 2000 was  almost  entirely
related  to  a  $13.5  million  stock-based   compensation  charge  recorded  in
connection with the extension of the employment agreement of Integra's President
and Chief  Executive  Officer.  A  decrease  in legal fees  associated  with the
conclusion of the jury trial in the patent  infringement  lawsuit  against Merck
KGaA in the first quarter of 2000 was offset by increased corporate headcount.

     Net  interest  expense  consisted  of interest  expense of $1.3 million and
interest income of $0.8 million in 2000. In 1999, net interest income  consisted
of $1.0  million of  interest  income  and $0.7  million  of  interest  expense.
Interest  expense  increased in 2000  consistent  with higher average bank loans
outstanding  during  2000 and  interest  associated  with the note issued to the
seller of the CNS business.  Interest  income  decreased in 2000 consistent with
lower average cash and marketable securities balances during 2000.


     We recorded a $1.1 million  pre-tax gain on the  disposition of two product
lines in 2000 and a $4.1 million  pre-tax gain on the  disposition  of a product
line in 1999.

     Other income  (expense),  net in 2000 included  $176,000 of gain on sale of
investments.


     The income tax provision of $0.1 million  recorded in 2000 consists of $0.6
million of income tax expense,  which was offset by a $0.5 million  benefit from
the sale of New  Jersey  state  net  operating  losses  under a state  sponsored
program.  The income tax benefit of $1.8 million  recorded in 1999 consists of a
$1.8 million non-cash  benefit  resulting from the reduction of the deferred tax
liability recorded in the NeuroCare Group of companies



                                       25




acquisition to the extent that  consolidated  deferred tax assets were generated
subsequent to the acquisition. A tax benefit of $0.6 million associated with the
sale of New Jersey  state net  operating  losses  was offset by $0.6  million of
income tax expense.

     The  reported  net loss for the year  ended  December  31,  2000 was  $11.4
million,  or $0.97 per share.  The  reported  net loss per share  includes  $1.5
million of preferred  stock dividends and a $4.2 million  beneficial  conversion
feature associated with the issuance of convertible preferred stock and warrants
in March 2000,  which is treated as a non-cash  dividend in computing  per share
earnings.  The  beneficial  conversion  dividend is based upon the excess of the
price of the underlying  common stock as compared to the fixed  conversion price
of the convertible preferred stock, after taking into account the value assigned
to the common stock warrants. Included in the reported net loss of $11.4 million
was a $1.1  million  gain on the  sale  of  product  lines,  the  $13.5  million
stock-based  compensation  charge,  a  $0.5  million  cumulative  effect  of  an
accounting change and $0.4 million of fair value inventory  purchase  accounting
adjustments.  Excluding  these items,  we would have reported net income of $1.8
million.  Excluding  these  items  and the $4.2  million  beneficial  conversion
feature recorded on the convertible  preferred stock, we would have reported net
income of $0.02 per share for the year ended December 31, 2000.

     The  reported  net loss  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1999 was $6.0
million,  or $0.40 per share.  The  reported  net loss per share  includes  $0.8
million of preferred stock dividends.  Included in the reported net loss of $6.0
million was a $3.7 million gain (net of tax) on the sale of a product line and a
$1.8  million  tax  benefit   related  to  the  NeuroCare   Group  of  companies
acquisition,   $2.5  million  of  fair  value  inventory   purchase   accounting
adjustments  and $1.0 million of severance  costs  associated with the NeuroCare
Group of companies acquisition.  Excluding these items, we would have reported a
net loss of $8.0 million, or $0.52 per share.

     Excluding  the above  items,  adjusted  Earnings  before  Interest,  Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization  would have been $7.8 million in 2000, as compared
to a  negative  $5.6  million  in 1999.  EBITDA is  calculated  by  adding  back
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to net income or loss.

     Total product sales increased  $25.9 million,  or 182%, in 1999, with sales
of product lines acquired in 1999 accounting for $24.5 million, or 172%, of this
increase.  Sales  growth  for  the  year  was led by the  Integra


                                       26




NeuroSciences division, which reported $21.9 million of sales from product lines
acquired in the  NeuroCare  Group of companies  acquisition  and $0.5 million of
sales of the  DuraGen(R)  product,  which was  launched in the third  quarter of
1999. Excluding fair value inventory purchase accounting adjustments recorded in
connection with the NeuroCare Group of companies  acquisition,  gross margins on
Integra NeuroSciences product sales would have been 51% in 1999.

     Sales in the Integra LifeSciences  division increased $3.5 million, or 24%,
in 1999.  An increase of $3.9 million from sales of  distributed  product  lines
acquired in 1998 and 1999 was offset by a decrease  of $2.1  million of sales of
INTEGRA(R) Dermal  Regeneration  Template through Ethicon in 1999. The remainder
of the  increase in 1999  relates to organic  sales  growth in existing  product
lines.  Excluding fair value inventory purchase  accounting  adjustments,  which
reduced  reported  1998 gross  margins by 2 percentage  points,  adjusted  gross
margins on Integra  LifeSciences  product sales decreased 1 percentage  point to
48% in 1999.  The decline in adjusted  gross  margins in 1999 was related to the
lower gross  margins on sales of the  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template
through Ethicon.


     Other  revenue,  which  decreased  $0.6  million  to $2.8  million in 1999,
consisted  of $1.3 million of research and  development  funding from  strategic
partners and government grants, $0.9 million of license,  distribution and other
event-related revenues from strategic partners and other third parties, and $0.6
million of royalty income.  In 1998, other revenue  consisted of $1.5 million of
license,  distribution and other event-related  revenues from strategic partners
and other third parties,  $1.6 million of research and development  funding from
strategic partners and government grants, and $0.3 million of royalty income.

     Research and development expenses were as follows (in thousands):

   Total ...............................................    $ 8,893     $ 8,424


     Research  and  development  expense in the  Integra  NeuroSciences  segment
increased  in  1999  primarily  because  of the  NeuroCare  Group  of  companies
acquisition.  Integra NeuroSciences  research and development activities in 1998
consisted of programs  involving  the  DuraGen(R)  product and the  NeuraGen(TM)
Nerve Guide. Research and development activities within the Integra LifeSciences
segment  decreased  in 1999  primarily  because  of the  elimination  of several
non-core research programs throughout 1999.


     Selling and marketing expenses were as follows (in thousands):

                                                             1999        1998

   Total ...............................................    $ 9,487     $ 5,901


     Integra  NeuroSciences  selling and  marketing  expense  increased  in 1999
primarily  because of the NeuroCare Group of companies  acquisition.  Additional
increases  resulted  from  expenses  related to the domestic  and  international
launch of the  DuraGen(R)  product in the third quarter of 1999. The decrease in
Integra  LifeSciences  selling and marketing expenses is primarily the result of
the transition of INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration  Template selling and marketing
activities to Ethicon,  offset by a slight increase in sales and marketing costs
related to acquired product lines.


     General and administrative expenses were as follows (in thousands):

   Total ...............................................    $13,324     $ 9,787


     Integra NeuroSciences general and administrative  expense increased in 1999
primarily because of the NeuroCare Group of companies  acquisition.  Included in
this amount is $1.0 million of severance  costs  associated  with the closure of
the corporate headquarters of NeuroCare Group of companies in July 1999. General
and administrative expense in the Integra LifeSciences segment increased in 1999
primarily due to  additional  headcount.  The decrease in corporate  general and
administrative expenses in 1999 resulted primarily from decreased legal fees and
costs associated with  maintenance of our intellectual  property and the effects
of a $0.2 million asset impairment  charge recorded in 1998, offset by increases
related to additional headcount.


     Net  interest  income  consisted  of  interest  income of $1.0  million and
interest  expense of $0.7  million in 1999.  Interest  income  decreased in 1999
consistent  with lower average cash and marketable  securities  balances  during
1999.

     Other  income  decreased  in  1999  primarily  because  of a  $0.6  million
favorable litigation settlement recorded in 1998.

INTERNATIONAL PRODUCT SALES AND OPERATIONS

     In 2000,  sales to  customers  outside  the  United  States  totaled  $13.6
million,  or 21% of consolidated  product sales, of which approximately 50% were
to Europe. Of this amount, $3.2 million of these sales were generated in foreign
currencies from our subsidiary based in Andover,  England, which was acquired in
April 2000.  Our  international  sales and operations are subject to the risk of
foreign  currency  fluctuations,  both in  terms of  exchange  risk  related  to
transactions  conducted in foreign  currencies  and the price of our products in
those markets for which sales are denominated in the U.S. dollar.

     In 1999 and 1998,  respectively,  sales outside the United  States  totaled
$9.1 million and $2.3  million,  respectively.  All of these  product sales were
generated  from  operations  based in the United States and were  denominated in
U.S. dollars.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 2001, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
of approximately $19.4 million and $12.3 million in short and long-term debt.

     To date,  we have  experienced  significant  cumulative  operating  losses.
Historically, we have funded our operations primarily through private and public
offerings of equity  securities,  product  revenues,  research and collaboration
funding,  borrowings  under  a  revolving  credit  line  and  cash  acquired  in
connection with business  acquisitions and dispositions.  Recently,  however, we
have substantially reduced our cash burn rate and, in the first quarter of 2001,
generated positive operating cash flows of $4.5 million. Operating cash flows in
the first  quarter of 2001  included a $2.2 million use of cash due to inventory
growth  and a $1.9  million  source of cash from a  prepayment  relating  to the
second quarter of 2001 from our strategic alliance with Ethicon.

     Our  principal  uses of funds  during  the first  quarter of 2001 were $2.2
million  of debt  repayments  and $0.4  million in  purchases  of  property  and
equipment.  Principal  sources of funds were $4.5 million of positive  operating
cash flow, $0.8 million of proceeds from short-term borrowings, and $1.4 million
from the issuance of common stock.


     Excluding the $13.5 million stock-based  compensation charge, we would have
reported  operating income of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.
However,  we did not generate positive operating cash flows in 2000 because of a
significant increase in working capital.


                                       28




     Our  principal  uses  of  funds  during  2000  were  $4.1  million  for the
acquisition of CNS, $12.1 million for the  acquisition of certain  product lines
from NMT Medical,  Inc.,  $3.3  million in purchases of property and  equipment,
$2.3  million of term loan  repayments,  and $5.0  million  used in  operations.
Operating  cash  flow  was  negative  in 2000  primarily  because  of  increased
inventory to support the growth in the business,  increased accounts  receivable
balances  generated from higher product sales,  and an increase in demonstration
equipment  and sample  product  provided  to the  significantly  larger  Integra
NeuroSciences  sales  force.  In 1999,  cash flow from  operations  was positive
primarily because of a $5.7 million increase in deferred revenues, most of which
was provided by cash received under the agreement with Ethicon.


     In 2000,  we raised $5.4 million from the sale of Series C Preferred  Stock
and warrants to affiliates of Soros  Private  Equity  Partners LLC, $5.0 million
from a private  placement  of common  stock,  $3.2  million from the issuance of
common stock  through  employee  benefit  plans,  $3.1 million of proceeds  from
short-term borrowings, and $1.6 million from the sale of product lines.


     We maintain a term loan and  revolving  credit  facility from Fleet Capital
Corporation,  which  is  collateralized  by  all  of the  assets  and  ownership
interests of various of our subsidiaries  including  Integra  NeuroCare LLC, and
NeuroCare Holding  Corporation (the parent company of Integra NeuroCare LLC) has
guaranteed Integra NeuroCare LLC's obligations. Integra NeuroCare LLC is subject
to various  financial and  non-financial  covenants  under the revolving  credit
facility with Fleet Capital Corporation,  including significant  restrictions on
its ability to transfer funds to us or our other  subsidiaries  and restrictions
on its ability to borrow more money.  The financial  covenants  specify  minimum
levels of interest  and fixed charge  coverage  and net worth,  and also specify
maximum levels of capital  expenditures and total indebtedness to operating cash
flow, among others.  While we anticipate that Integra NeuroCare LLC will be able
to satisfy the requirements of these financial covenants,  we cannot insure that
Integra NeuroCare LLC will generate sufficient earnings before interest,  taxes,
depreciation and  amortization to meet the requirements of those covenants.  The
term loan is subject to mandatory  prepayment  amounts if certain levels of cash
flow are achieved.  In April 2001,  Integra NeuroCare LLC prepaid  approximately
$2.0  million in principal  as a result of those  provisions  in addition to the
scheduled quarterly principal payment.

     In January 2000, we issued a 5% $2.8 million  promissory note to the seller
of the CNS  business.  The  promissory  note,  which is payable in two principal
payments of $1.4 million  each,  plus accrued  interest,  is  collateralized  by
inventory,  property  and  equipment  of the CNS  business  and by a  collateral
assignment of a $2.8 million  promissory note from one of our subsidiaries.  The
first principal  payment,  including accrued  interest,  was paid on January 16,
2001. The final payment is due in January 2002.

     In the short-term, we believe that we have sufficient resources to fund our
operations.  In the  absence of a  material  acquisition  or a material  adverse
change in our  business,  we have the  ability to fund our  operations  from our
existing  capital  resources  and  cash  generated  from  the  business  for the
foreseeable future.  However, in the longer-term,  we cannot insure that we will
be able to generate sufficient revenues to sustain positive operating cash flows
or  profitability   or  to  find  acceptable   alternatives  to  finance  future
acquisitions.


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK


     We are exposed to market risks  arising from an increase in interest  rates
payable on the  variable  rate  revolving  credit  facility  with Fleet  Capital
Corporation.  For example, based on the remaining term loan and revolving credit
facility  outstanding at March 31, 2001, an annual interest rate increase of 100
basis points would increase interest expense by approximately $110,000.


OTHER MATTERS

REDEMPTION OF SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK


     On May 4, 2001,  we notified the holders of the 100,000  shares of Series B
Preferred  of our  intention  to redeem  these shares on June 29, 2001 for $12.3
million.  The holders of the Series B Preferred  had the right to convert  their
shares into common stock prior to this  redemption.  As of June 26, 2001, all of
the  holders of the Series B  Preferred  exercised  this right to convert  their
100,000 shares of Series B Preferred into 2,617,800 shares of common stock.


                                       29



NET OPERATING LOSSES


     At  December  31,  2000,  we  had  net  operating  loss   carryforwards  of
approximately  $41.6  million and $18.2 million for federal and state income tax
purposes, respectively, to offset future taxable income, if any. The federal and
state  net  operating   loss   carryforwards   expire  through  2020  and  2007,
respectively.

     At December 31, 2000,  several of our subsidiaries had unused net operating
loss  carryforwards and tax credit  carryforwards  arising from periods prior to
our  ownership.   Excluding  our  Telios   Pharmaceuticals,   Inc.   subsidiary,
approximately $9 million of these net operating loss  carryforwards  for federal
income tax purposes  expire  between 2001 and 2005.  Our Telios  subsidiary  has
approximately $84 million of net operating losses, which expire between 2002 and
2010. The amount of Telios' net operating loss that is available and our ability
to utilize this loss is dependent on the determined  value of Telios at the date
of acquisition.  We have a valuation  allowance of $45 million  recorded against
all  deferred  tax  assets,  including  the  net  operating  losses,  due to the
uncertainty  of  realization.  The Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended,
Section 382 and other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and its applicable
regulations  severely limits the timing and manner in which we may utilize these
acquired net operating losses in any year.

     As of  December  31,  2000,  we had  provided  a  $44.8  million  valuation
allowance against our consolidated  deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of
its  realization.  Because  we  have  generated  taxable  income  during  recent
quarters,  management is continuing to reassess the potential  realizability  of
this asset through the generation of future taxable  income.  The recognition of
the deferred tax asset could affect our income tax provision in the near term.


NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


     In December  1999 (as amended in March 2000 and June 2000) the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, Revenue
Recognition.  As the  result of the  adoption  of the  Accounting  Bulletin,  we
recorded a $470,000 cumulative effect of an accounting change to defer a portion
of a  non-refundable,  up-front fee  received  and recorded in other  revenue in
1998. The cumulative  effect of this accounting change was measured and recorded
as of January 1, 2000.

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities."  Statement
No. 133, as amended by Statement  No. 138,  "Accounting  for Certain  Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," requires companies to recognize all
derivatives  as either  assets or  liabilities  in the balance sheet and measure
these instruments at fair value. Our adoption of Statement No. 133 as of January
1, 2001 did not have a material effect on our results of operations or financial
position during the first quarter of 2001.

                                    BUSINESS

OVERVIEW


     Integra  develops,  manufactures and markets medical devices,  implants and
biomaterials. Our operations consist of:

          o    Integra  NeuroSciences,  which is a leading provider of implants,
               devices,  and monitors  used in  neurosurgery,  neurotrauma,  and
               related critical care; and


          o    Integra  LifeSciences,  which develops and manufactures a variety
               of medical products and devices,  including products based on our
               proprietary  tissue  regeneration  technology  which  are used to
               treat soft tissue and orthopedic conditions.

Integra  NeuroSciences sells primarily through a direct sales organization,  and
Integra   LifeSciences   sells  primarily   through   strategic   alliances  and
distributors.

     Integra  was  founded  in 1989 and over the  next  decade  built a  product
portfolio based on absorbable collagen and a product development  platform based
on technologies  directed toward tissue  regeneration.  During 1999 and 2000, we
expanded  into  the  neurosurgical   market,   an  attractive   niche,   through
acquisitions and introductions of new products.  Our 2000 revenues  increased to
$71.6  million,  compared  to $42.9  million in 1999 and $17.6  million in 1998.
Revenues for the first quarter of 2001 increased $7.2 million,  or 49%, over the
first quarter of 2000 to $21.7 million.

     In 2000, we sold over 1,000 different  products to over 2,000 hospitals and
other  customers in more than 80  countries.  We generate  revenues from product
sales,  strategic  alliances and royalties and invested $7.5 million in research
and   development   relating  to  new  products,   including   those  using  our
biomaterials, peptide chemistry and collagen engineering technologies.

     Integra  NeuroSciences  accounted for 64% of total revenues in 2000 and 68%
of total  revenues  during  the  first  three  months of 2001.  We market  these
products to  neurosurgeons  and critical  care units,  which  comprise a focused
group of  hospital-based  practitioners.  As a result, we believe we are able to
access this market through a cost-effective sales and marketing infrastructure.


     For the majority of the products we manufacture under Integra LifeSciences,
we partner with market  leaders which we believe allows us to achieve our growth
objectives cost effectively while enabling us to focus our management efforts on
developing new products. These non-neurosurgical products address large, diverse
markets,  and we believe that they can be more cost effectively promoted through
leveraging  marketing  partners than through  developing a sales  infrastructure
ourselves. Our strategic alliances include Ethicon; Sulzer Dental, a division of
Sulzer Medica Ltd.;  the Genetics  Institute  division of American Home Products
Corporation; and Medtronic Sofamor Danek.


STRATEGY

     Our  goal  is to  become  a  leader  in the  development,  manufacture  and
marketing of medical devices,  implants and biomaterials in the markets in which
we compete.  Our products are principally used in the diagnosis and treatment of
neurosurgical, soft-tissue and orthopedic conditions and we intend to expand our
presence in those markets. Key elements of our strategy include the following:

     EXPAND OUR NEUROSURGERY MARKET PRESENCE.  Through acquisitions and internal
growth, we have rapidly grown Integra  NeuroSciences  into a leading provider of
products for the neurosurgery  market. We believe there exists additional growth
potential in this market through:

     o    increasing market share of existing product lines;

     o    expanding our product portfolio through acquisitions; and

                                       31



     o    continuing  development and promotion of innovative products,  such as
          the DuraGen(R)Dural Graft Matrix.


     CONTINUE TO DEVELOP NEW AND INNOVATIVE  MEDICAL  PRODUCTS.  As evidenced by
our  development  of  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration   Template,   Biomend(R),
Biomend(R)  Extend  and  DuraGen(R),  we have a leading  proprietary  absorbable
implant  franchise.  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template is a proprietary
absorbable matrix used to enable the human body to regenerate  functional dermal
tissue.  In 1999, we introduced our DuraGen(R) Dural Graft matrix to close brain
and  spine  membranes.  We are  currently  developing  a variety  of  innovative
neurosurgical   and  other  medical   products  as  well  as  seeking   expanded
applications for our existing products.

     CONTINUE TO FORM STRATEGIC ALLIANCES FOR INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES  PRODUCTS. We
have  collaborated  with leading companies to develop and market the majority of
our  non-neurosurgical  product lines.  These products address large and diverse
markets which we believe can be more cost effectively accessed through marketing
partners than through developing our own sales infrastructure. We have partnered
with Ethicon to market our INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration Template and intend to
pursue additional strategic alliances selectively.


     ADDITIONAL STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS.  Since March 1999 we have completed five
acquisitions  in  the  neurosurgical   market.  We  intend  to  seek  additional
acquisitions  in this  market  and in other  niche  medical  technology  markets
characterized  by  high  margins,  fragmented  competition  and  focused  target
customers.

PRODUCTS

     We  manufacture  and  market a broad  range  of  medical  products  for the
diagnosis and treatment of spinal and cranial disorders,  soft tissue repair and
orthopedic conditions. We are also actively engaged in a variety of research and
development programs relating to new products or product enhancements  utilizing
our tissue regeneration technology. Our principal products and product lines are
summarized in the following table.

INTEGRA NEUROSCIENCES

IN GENERAL

     We manufacture and market a multi-line offering of innovative neurosurgical
devices used for brain and spine  injuries.  We intend to be the  neurosurgeon's
and  neuro-intensive  care unit's  "one-stop shop" for these  products.  For the
intensive  care unit, we sell the  Camino(R),  Ventrix(R)  and LICOX(R) lines of
intracranial  pressure,  temperature and oxygen-monitoring  systems and external
drainage systems manufactured under the Camino(R), Heyer-Schulte(R) and Clinical
Neuro  Systems(TM)  brand names. For the operating room, we sell a wide range of
products,  including Heyer-Schulte  hydrocephalus  management shunting products,
the DuraGen(R) Dural Graft Matrix, the Selector(R) Integra Ultrasonic  Aspirator
and  Dissectron(R)   Ultrasonic   Surgical   Aspirator,   Integra   Coblation(R)
Neurosurgical  Systems,  Redmond(TM)-Ruggles(TM)  neurosurgical  instruments and
Neuro Navigational(R) endoscopes.

     We sell our  neurosurgical  products in the United States  through a direct
sales  force  organized  into five  regions,  each with a manager.  We employ 44
direct sales personnel called neurospecialists covering 44 territories.  We also
employ seven clinical  development  specialists  who directly  educate and train
both the  neurospecialists  and our customers in the use of our products,  and a
scientific  director with a Ph.D in  neurosciences.  The sales  organization has
more than  doubled  in size  since the  acquisition  of the first  neurosciences
business in early 1999.  We believe  this  expansion  allows for  smaller,  more
focused  territories,  greater  participation  in trade shows and more extensive
marketing efforts.  We also sell directly in the United Kingdom and plan to sell
through a direct sales force in Germany and France. In the rest of the world, we
sell  our  products   through   approximately   80   specialized   neurosurgical
distributors and dealers.

INDUSTRY

     The neurosurgical device market consists of medical products,  implants and
instruments used for the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of chronic diseases
and acute  injuries  involving  the brain and spinal chord.  These  products are
primarily used in the operating  room and intensive  care unit by  neurosurgeons
and  nurses.  According  to  industry  sources,  the size of the  market for our
products is approximately $400 million and is expected to grow at annual rate of
6-8%.

     Integra  NeuroSciences  addresses  the market need created by trauma cases,
cancer,  hydrocephalus  and other  conditions of the brain and spine through its
established market positions in intracranial monitoring, neurosurgical shunting,
dural repair, tumor ablation and specialty neurosurgical instrumentation.

     Intracranial  monitors are used by neurosurgeons in diagnosing and treating
cases of severe head trauma and other diseases.  Integra NeuroSciences currently
has more  than  3,000  intracranial  monitors  installed  worldwide.  There  are
approximately  400,000  cases of head trauma each year in the United  State,  of
which the portion that requires monitoring and intervention  represents a market
of approximately $40 million.


     Hydrocephalus is an incurable condition resulting from an imbalance between
the amount of  cerebrospinal  fluid  produced  by the body and the rate at which
cerebrospinal  fluid  is  absorbed  by the  brain.  This  condition  causes  the
ventricles of the brain to enlarge and the pressure inside the head to increase.
Hydrocephalus  often is present at birth,  but may also result from head trauma,
spina bifida,  intraventricular  hemorrhage,  intracranial tumors and cysts. The
most common  method of treatment of  hydrocephalus  is the  insertion of a shunt
into the  ventricular  system of the brain to divert  the flow of  cerebrospinal
fluid out of the brain. A pressure valve then maintains the cerebrospinal  fluid
at normal levels within the ventricles.

     According  to  the   Hydrocephalus   Association,   hydrocephalus   affects
approximately  one in 500 children born in the United States.  Approximately 80%
of total  cerebrospinal  fluid shunt sales address  birth-related  hydrocephalus
with  the  remaining  20%  addressing  surgical   procedures   involving  excess
cerebrospinal fluid due to head trauma.

     Based on industry  sources,  we believe that the total United States market
for hydrocephalus  management,  including monitoring,  shunting and drainage, is
approximately  $70 million.  Of that amount,  it is estimated that a little more
than half consists of sales of monitoring products,  and the balance consists of
sales of shunts and drains for the management of hydrocephalus.


     Our Selector(R)  Integra  Ultrasonic  Aspirator,  Dissectron(R)  Ultrasonic
Surgical Aspirator and Integra Coblation(R)  products address the market for the
surgical destruction and removal of malignant and non-malignant tumors and

                                       34



other tissue.  More than 110,000  metastatic brain tumors are diagnosed annually
in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, brain tumors are
the second  fastest  growing  cause of cancer death among people over 65 and are
among the most common types of cancer found in children.

     Our  DuraGen(R)  Dural Graft Matrix  product line  addresses the market for
dural substitutes, including cranial and spinal procedures.

     Integra  NeuroSciences'  Redmond(TM)-Ruggles(TM)  line of neurosurgery  and
spinal  instrumentation  products,  including  hand-held spinal and neurosurgery
instruments such as retractors,  kerrisons,  dissectors and curettes,  addresses
the market for neurosurgical instruments.


     Integra NeuroSciences' line of minimally invasive  neuroendoscopy  products
addresses  a  market  growing,  in  part,  because  of the  introduction  of new
procedures called third ventriculostomies which are increasingly substituted for
shunt placement for patients who meet the criteria.


PRODUCTS

NEURO INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

     THE  MONITORING  OF  BRAIN  PARAMETERS.  Integra  NeuroSciences  sells  the
Camino(R)  and  Ventrix(R)  lines  of  intracranial   pressure  and  temperature
monitoring systems,  and the LICOX(R) Brain Tissue Oxygen Monitoring System. The
Camino(R)  and  Ventrix(R)   systems  measure  the  intracranial   pressure  and
temperature  in the brain and  ventricles,  and the LICOX(R)  system  allows for
continuous  qualitative  regional  monitoring  of  dissolved  oxygen in cerebral
tissues.  Core  technologies  in the brain  parameter  monitoring  product  line
include  the design and  manufacture  of the  disposable  catheters  used in the
monitoring systems,  pressure  transducer  technology,  optical  detection/fiber
optic  transmission   technology,   sensor   characterization   and  calibration
technology and monitor design and manufacture.

     EXTERNAL DRAINAGE SYSTEM PRODUCT LINE. Integra  NeuroSciences'  ventricular
and lumbar  external  drainage  systems are  manufactured  under the  Camino(R),
Heyer-Shulte(R)  and Clinical Neuro  Systems(TM) brand names. We manufacture the
drainage  systems in both Anasco,  Puerto Rico (for sale under the Camino(R) and
Heyer-Schulte(R)  brand  names) and in Exton,  Pennsylvania  (for sale under the
Clinical Neuro Systems(TM) brand name).

NEURO OPERATING ROOM


     SHUNTS FOR  HYDROCEPHALUS  MANAGEMENT.  Our line of shunting  products  for
hydrocephalus  management  includes the Novus(R),  LPV(R) and Pudenz(TM) shunts,
ventricular, peritoneal and cardiac catheters, physician-specified hydrocephalus
management shunt kits, Ommaya(R)  cerebrospinal fluid reservoirs and Spetzler(R)
lumbar and  syringo-peritoneal  shunts.  Shunts are medical devices implanted in
the patient to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricles of the brain
into the peritoneal cavity or externally.

     DURAGEN(R) PRODUCT LINE. The DuraGen(R) Dural Graft Matrix is an absorbable
collagen  matrix  indicated for the repair of the dura mater.  The dura mater is
the thick  membrane that contains the  cerebrospinal  fluid within the brain and
the spine.  The dura mater must be penetrated  during brain surgery and is often
damaged during spinal  surgery.  In either case,  surgeons often close or repair
the dura mater with a graft.  The graft may consist of other  tissue  taken from
elsewhere  in the  patient's  body,  or it may  be one of the  dural  substitute
products  currently  on the  market  which  are  made  of  synthetic  materials,
processed  human  cadaver,  or bovine  pericardium.  We  believe  that the other
methods for repairing the dura mater suffer from  shortcomings  addressed by the
DuraGen(R) Dural Graft Matrix.

     Our DuraGen(R) product has been shown in clinical trials to be an effective
means for closing the dura mater without the need for suturing, which allows the
neurosurgeon to conclude the operation more  efficiently.  In addition,  because
the DuraGen(R) product is ultimately  absorbed by the body and replaced with new
natural tissue, the patient avoids some of the risks associated with a permanent
implant inside the cranium.

     SELECTOR(R)   INTEGRA  ULTRASONIC   ASPIRATOR.   The  Selector(R)   Integra
Ultrasonic  Aspirator uses very high frequency  sound waves to pulverize  cancer
tumors, and allows the surgeon to remove the damaged tumor tissue by aspiration.
Unlike other surgical  techniques,  ultrasonic surgery selectively  dissects and
fragments soft tissue leaving  fibrous  tissues such as nerves and blood vessels
intact.  Ultrasonic  aspiration  facilitates  the  removal  of  unwanted  tissue
adjacent or attached to vital structures.

     DISSECTRON(R)  ULTRASONIC SURGICAL ASPIRATOR.  The Dissectron(R) Ultrasonic
Surgical Aspirator system,  acquired in April 2001, applies ultrasonic energy to
precisely  fragment and emulsify soft tissue,  which is subsequently  aspirated,
while preserving major blood vessels,  nerves and elastic fibers. The system has
been used  internationally  in a variety  of  surgical  applications,  including
neurosurgery.


     INTEGRA  COBLATION(R).  Integra  NeuroSciences  is the exclusive  sales and
distribution  partner for ArthroCare  Corporation's  Coblation(R) based surgical
system for  neurosurgery  in North  American  and  certain  other  international
markets.  ArthroCare's  Coblation(R)  products  allow surgeons to operate with a
high  level of  control,  limiting  damage to  surrounding  tissue  and  thereby
potentially  reducing pain and speeding  recovery for the patient.  Coblation(R)
products, including the neurosurgery system that we distribute, operate at lower
temperatures than traditional  electrosurgical or laser surgery tools and enable
surgeons to remove,  shrink or sculpt soft tissue and to seal bleeding  vessels.
ArthroCare's  soft-tissue  surgery  systems  consist of a controller unit and an
assortment  of disposable  devices that are  specialized  for specific  types of
surgery.  We are  working  with  ArthroCare  to  develop  handpieces  and  other
accessories particularly for the neurosurgical application.


     REDMOND(TM)-RUGGLES(TM)  PRODUCT LINE. We provide  neurosurgeons  and spine
surgeons  with a full  line of  specialty  hand-held  spinal  and  neurosurgical
instruments  sold under the  Redmond(TM)  and  Ruggles(TM)  brand  names.  These
products include retractors,  kerrisons,  dissectors and curettes. Major product
segments  include  spinal  instruments,  microsurgical  neuro  instruments,  and
products  customized by Integra  NeuroSciences  and sold through other companies
and distributors.  Specialty  surgical steel fabricators in Germany  manufacture
most of these products to Integra's specifications.

     NEURO  NAVIGATIONAL(R)  ENDOSCOPE  PRODUCT  LINE. We  manufacture  and sell
disposable  and  minimally  invasive  neuroendoscopy  products  under  the Neuro
Navigational(R) brand name. These fiber optic instruments are used to facilitate
minimally invasive neurosurgery.

     NEURAGEN(TM)  NERVE GUIDE. We manufacture the NeuraGen(TM)  Nerve Guide, an
absorbable   implant  for  the  repair  of  severed  peripheral  nerves  in  the
extremities. Peripheral nerves may become severed through traumatic accidents or
surgical  injuries,  often  resulting in the permanent loss of motor and sensory
function.  Although severed peripheral nerves regenerate spontaneously,  they do
not  establish  functional  connections  unless the nerve stumps are  surgically
reconnected. The NeuraGen(TM) product is an absorbable collagen tube designed to
provide a protective  environment  for the  regenerating  nerve and to provide a
conduit  through  which   regenerating   nerves  can  bridge  the  injury.   The
NeuraGen(TM)  Nerve Guide offers a rapid method for rejoining severed peripheral
nerves, in contrast to conventional microsurgical techniques.

In June 2001, we received Section 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market the
NeuraGen(TM) product and we plan to launch the product in the United States in
the fourth quarter of 2001.

PRIVATE LABEL PRODUCTS

     INTEGRA(R) DERMAL  REGENERATION  TEMPLATE.  INTEGRA(R) Dermal  Regeneration
Template is designed to enable the human body to  regenerate  functional  dermal
tissue.  Human skin consists of the  epidermis and the dermis.  The epidermis is
the thin,  outer layer that serves as a  protective  seal for the body,  and the
dermis is the thicker layer  underneath  that provides  structural  strength and
flexibility  and supports  the  viability  of the  epidermis  through a vascular
network.  The body normally responds to severe damage to the dermis by producing
scar tissue in the wound area.  This scar tissue is  accompanied  by contraction
that pulls the edges of the wound closer which,  while closing the wound,  often
permanently  reduces  flexibility.  In severe cases, this contraction leads to a
reduction  in the range of motion for the  patient,  who  subsequently  requires
extensive physical rehabilitation or reconstructive surgery. Physicians treating
severe  wounds,  such as  full-thickness  burns,  seek to minimize  scarring and
contraction.

     INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template  was  designed to minimize  scar
formation and wound  contracture  in full  thickness  skin  defects.  INTEGRA(R)
Dermal    Regeneration    Template    consists   of   two    layers,    a   thin
collagen-glycosaminoglycan  sponge  and a  silicone  membrane.  The  product  is
applied  with the sponge  layer in contact  with the excised  wound.  The sponge
material  serves as a template for the growth of new  functional  dermal tissue.
The outer  membrane  layer acts as a temporary  substitute  for the epidermis to
control  water vapor  transmission,  prevent  re-injury  and minimize  bacterial
contamination.


     INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template  was approved by the FDA under a
premarket   approval   application   for  the   post-excisional   treatment   of
life-threatening  full-thickness or deep partial-thickness  thermal injury where
sufficient  autograft is not  available at the time of excision or not desirable
due to the physiological condition of the patient.

     We estimate that the worldwide market for use of skin replacement  products
(such as  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template) in the treatment of severe
burns is approximately $75 million. However, the potential market for the use of
INTEGRA(R) Regeneration Template for reconstructive surgery and the treatment of
chronic wounds is much larger,  which we estimate to be in excess of $1 billion.
In June 1999,  Integra  LifeSciences  entered  into a  strategic  alliance  with
Ethicon to distribute  INTEGRA(R) Dermal  Regeneration  Template  throughout the
world, except in Japan. As part of that strategic  alliance,  Ethicon has agreed
to pay for clinical trials to support  applications to the FDA for these broader
indications.  We cannot be certain that these clinical trials will be completed,
or that  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template  will receive the  approvals
necessary to permit Ethicon to promote it for those indications.


     BIOMEND(R) ABSORBABLE COLLAGEN MEMBRANE. Our BioMend(R) Absorbable Collagen
Membrane is used for guided tissue  regeneration  in  periodontal  surgery.  The
BioMend(R)  membrane  is inserted  between the gum and the tooth after  surgical
treatment of periodontal  disease,  preventing  the gum tissue from  interfering
with the regeneration of the periodontal ligament that holds the tooth in place.
The BioMend(R)  product is intended to be absorbed after  approximately  four to
seven weeks,  avoiding the  requirement  for additional  surgical  procedures to
remove a non-absorbable membrane.  BioMend(R) Extend has the same indication for
use as  BioMend(R),  except  that it  absorbs  in  approximately  16 weeks.  The
BioMend(R) and BioMend(R)  Extend  Absorbable  Collagen Membrane is sold through
the Sulzer Dental division of Sulzer Medica.


     COLLAGEN MATRICES FOR USE WITH BONE GROWTH FACTORS.  We supply the Genetics
Institute  division of American Home Products with absorbable  collagen  sponges
for use in developing bone regeneration  implants.  Since 1994, we have supplied
absorbable collagen sponges for use with Genetics Institute's  recombinant human
bone morphogenic protein-2 (rhBMP-2).  Recombinant human BMP-2 is a manufactured
version of human protein naturally present in very small quantities in the body.
Genetics  Institute is developing  recombinant human bone morphogenic  protein-2
for clinical evaluation in several areas of bone repair and augmentation and, in
February  2001,  filed a pre-market  approval  application  with the FDA seeking
approval  for the use of its  recombinant  human bone  morphogenic  protein-2 in
conjunction  with our Absorbable  Collagen  Sponge for use in treatment of acute
long-bone fractures requiring open surgical  management.  Spine applications are
being developed through a related  collaboration with Medtronic Sofamor Danek in
North America.


     CARTILAGE REPAIR PROGRAM.  Damaged articular cartilage,  which connects the
skeletal joints, is associated with the onset of progressive pain,  degeneration
and, ultimately,  long-term osteoarthritis.  Normal articular cartilage does

                                       37



not effectively heal. The conventional  procedure for treating  traumatic damage
to  cartilage  involves  smoothing  damaged  portions of the tissue and removing
free-floating  material  from the  joint  using  arthroscopic  surgery  with the
objective of reducing pain and restoring  mobility.  However,  this therapy does
not stop joint surface  degeneration,  often  requires two or more surgeries and
results  in the  formation  of  fibrocartilage,  which is rough  and  non-weight
bearing over prolonged periods. Moreover, the long-term result of this procedure
often  is  permanent  reduction  of  joint  mobility  and an  increased  risk of
developing osteoarthritis.


     We are developing our  proprietary  technology base toward an approach that
will  support  regeneration  of the  patient's  own  articular  cartilage.  This
technology will allow the patient's body to regenerate a smooth,  weight-bearing
surface.  Our objective in developing this  cartilage-specific  technology is to
produce a product that  provides the proper  matrix  system to allow the natural
regeneration of the patient's  cartilage,  with full restoration of function and
diminished risk of osteoarthritis.


     TYROSINE  POLYCARBONATES  FOR  ORTHOPEDIC  IMPLANTS.  We are  continuing to
develop additional biomaterial technologies that enhance the rate and quality of
healing and tissue  regeneration  with  synthetic  biodegradable  scaffolds that
support cell attachment and growth.  We are developing a new class of absorbable
polycarbonates  created  through the  polymerization  of  tyrosine,  a naturally
occurring amino acid. A well-defined  and commercially  scaleable  manufacturing
process prepares these materials.  Device fabrication by traditional  techniques
such as compression  molding and extrusion is readily achieved.  We believe that
this new  biomaterial  will be  useful  in  promoting  full  bone  healing  when
implanted in damaged  sites.  This  material is currently  being  developed  for
orthopedic  and  tissue   engineering   applications  where  strength  and  bone
compatibility  are critical issues for success of healing.  We have entered into
agreements  to  supply  the  material  to Bionx  Implants,  Inc.  for  specified
orthopedic  implants.  No medical  device  containing  the material has yet been
approved for sale.

include the  VitaCuff(R)catheter  access infection  control device (sold to Bard
Access Systems,  Inc., Arrow  International,  Inc. and Tyco International Ltd.),
the BioPatch(R)anti-microbial wound dressing (sold to Ethicon), and a wide range
of absorbable collagen products for hemostasis (sold to Sulzer Dental for use in
periodontal   surgery   and  other   distributors   under   the   Helistat(R)and
Helitene(R)Absorbable Collagen Hemostatic Agent names).

     Our Sundt(TM) and other  carotid  endarterectomy  shunts are used to divert
blood to vital  organs  (such  as the  brain)  during  carotid  artery  surgical
procedures.

     Finally, our Spembly Medical cryosurgery products allow surgeons to use low
temperatures to more easily extract diseased tissue.

STRATEGIC ALLIANCES

     We use  distribution  alliances  to  market  the  majority  of our  Integra
LifeSciences  products.  We have  also  entered  into  collaborative  agreements
relating to research and development  programs  involving our technology.  These
arrangements are described below.


     ETHICON. In June 1999, we entered into a strategic alliance with Ethicon to
distribute  INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration Template throughout the world, except
in Japan.  Ethicon is  responsible  for marketing  and selling the product,  has
agreed to make  significant  minimum  product  purchases,  and will  provide  $2
million annual funding for research, development and certain clinical trials for
the first five years of the alliance and thereafter based on a percentage of net
sales. In addition,  Ethicon is obligated to make contingent payments to Integra
LifeSciences in the event of certain clinical  developments and to assist in the
expansion  of our  manufacturing  capacity  as Ethicon  achieves  certain  sales
targets.  The  aggregate  amount  of  available  contingent  payments,   if  all
conditions for each payment are satisfied,  is $38 million.  Of that amount, $25
million  depends upon the achievement of specified sales targets and $13 million
depends upon the achievement of certain clinical and regulatory events,  such as
regulatory submissions and approvals for new intended uses for INTEGRA(R) Dermal
Regeneration  Template.  To date,  we have  received  $750,000 in  clinical  and
regulatory  payments,  and  no  payments  for  the  expansion  of  manufacturing
capacity.  Based upon current clinical and regulatory plans and our estimates of
future  sales  growth,  we do not expect to receive more than $2 million of such
contingent  payments  from Ethicon  before  2004.  Under the  agreement,  we are
obligated to manufacture the product and are responsible for continued  research
and development. The initial term of the agreement is ten years, and Ethicon may
at its option  extend the agreement  for an  additional  ten years.  Ethicon may
terminate  the  agreement  with notice  prior to the end of the initial  term by
giving notice one year in advance of termination. Depending upon the reasons for
any termination, Ethicon may be obligated to make significant payments to us.


                                       38




     CENTURY MEDICAL, INC. In 1997 and 1998, we signed exclusive importation and
sales agreements for INTEGRA(R) Dermal  Regeneration  Template  DuraGen(R) Dural
Graft  Matrix and the  NeuraGen(TM)  Nerve Guide in Japan with  Century  Medical
Inc.,  a  subsidiary  of ITOCHU  Corporation.  Under these  agreements,  Century
Medical,  Inc.  is  conducting  clinical  trials  at its own  expense  to obtain
Japanese  regulatory  approvals for the sale of INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration
Template and the DuraGen(R)  Dural Graft Matrix in Japan.  The  agreements  with
Century  Medical  terminate  seven  years after we and  Century  Medical  obtain
approval from Japanese regulators to sell the applicable product in Japan. We do
not receive any  royalties  under the  agreement,  but we did receive an initial
non-refundable payment of $1 million from Century Medical in 1998.

     OTHER  ORTHOPEDICS.   In  addition  to  the  cartilage   program,   Integra
LifeSciences has several other programs  oriented toward the orthopedic  market.
These programs  include an alliance with Genetics  Institute for the development
of  collagen  matrices  to be  used in  conjunction  with  Genetics  Institute's
recombinant  human bone  morphogenetic  protein-2.  If approved,  the protein is
expected  to be used in  conjunction  with  our  matrices  to  regenerate  bone.
Genetics Institute is developing  products based on the protein for applications
in orthopedics,  oral and maxillofacial  surgery.  Spine  applications are being
developed through a related  collaboration  with Medtronic Sofamor Danek,  which
has acquired  the right to sell  rhBMP-2 and our  matrices in North  America for
spinal  applications  from  Genetics  Institute.  Our  agreement  with  Genetics
Institute  requires us to supply  collagen  matrices  at  specified  prices.  In
addition,  we  will  receive  a  royalty  equal  to  a  percentage  of  Genetics
Institute's sales of surgical kits combining rhBMP-2 and our collagen  matrices.
The agreement  terminates in 2004, but may be extended for successive  five year
terms at the option of Genetics  Institute.  The agreement  does not provide for
milestones  or other  contingent  payments,  but Genetics  Institute  pays us to
assist with regulatory affairs and research.

     In September  1998, we announced a strategic  alliance with Bionx Implants,
Inc. for developing fixation devices using Integra's polymer  technology.  Under
the agreement with Bionx,  Bionx has  responsibility for clinical trials and any
necessary  regulatory  filings.  Products covered under the agreement with Bionx
include an absorbable line of screws,  plates,  pins,  wedges and nails used for
the fixation  and/or  alignment of fractures or  osteotomies in all areas of the
musculoskeletal  system except in the spine and cranium. The initial term of our
agreement  with Bionx  extends until 2013,  but it may be terminated  earlier by
either  company  under  various  circumstances.  We do  not  expect  to  receive
contingent  payments  under  the  agreement,   but  if  absorbable  devices  are
commercialized  we will sell raw polymer to Bionx at a specified  price,  plus a
percentage of Bionx net sales of products made from the polymer.


     SULZER DENTAL.  Sulzer Medica Ltd.'s dental  division,  Sulzer Dental,  has
marketed  and sold  BioMend(R)  since  1995,  BioMend(R)  Extend  since 1999 and
CollaCote(R),  CollaPlug(R)  and  CollaTape(R)  since 1992. under a distribution
agreement. Under the agreement,  Sulzer Dental purchases products for the dental
market from us at specified prices and in minimum  quantities.  The initial term
of our agreement  with Sulzer Dental ends at the end of 2004,  and the agreement
may be extended at the option of Sulzer Dental for an additional five years.

RESEARCH STRATEGY

     We have  either  acquired  or  secured  the  proprietary  rights to several
important  technological  and scientific  platforms,  including  collagen matrix
technology, peptide technology,  biomaterials technology, and expertise in fiber
optics.  These  technologies  provide  support for our critical  applications in
neurosciences  and  tissue  regeneration,   and  additional   opportunities  for
generating near-term and long-term revenues from medical  applications.  We have
been able to identify and bring together critical platform technology components
from  which we work to  develop  solutions  for  both  tissue  regeneration  and
neurosciences.  These  efforts  have led to the  successful  development  of new
products, such as the DuraGen(R) product.

     We spent  approximately  $2.1  million for the three months ended March 31,
2001 and $7.5 million,  $8.9 million, and $8.4 million during fiscal years 2000,
1999, and 1998, respectively,  on research and development activities.  Research
and development  activities funded by government grants and contract development
revenues amounted to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, and
$2.8 million,  $1.6 million and $1.8 million during fiscal years 2000, 1999, and
1998, respectively.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION


     As  a  manufacturer  of  medical  devices,  we  are  subject  to  extensive
regulation  by the  FDA  and,  in  some  jurisdictions,  by  state  and  foreign
governmental  authorities.  These  regulations  govern the  introduction  of new
medical devices, the observance of certain standards with respect to the design,
manufacture,  testing, labeling and promotion of the devices, the maintenance of
certain  records,  the ability to track  devices,  the  reporting  of  potential
product defects, the export of devices and other matters. We believe that we are
in substantial compliance with these governmental regulations.

     From time to time,  we have  recalled  certain of our  products.  Since the
beginning of 1998,  we have  voluntarily  recalled  products,  and we have never
involuntarily  recalled a product.  We have  recalled  defective  components  or
devices supplied by other vendors,  kits assembled by us that included incorrect
combinations of products and defective devices manufactured by us. None of these
recalls resulted in significant  direct expense to us or significant  disruption
of  customer  or  supplier   relationships.   However,  a  future  voluntary  or
involuntary  recall of one of our major products,  particularly if it involved a
potential or actual risk to patients,  would have an adverse financial impact on
us, as a result both of direct expenses and disrupted customer relationships.


                                       39




     Our medical devices  introduced in the United States market are required by
the FDA,  as a  condition  of  marketing,  to  secure a  Premarket  Notification
clearance pursuant to Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act,
an approved Premarket Approval application or a supplemental pre-market approval
application. Alternatively, we may seek United States market clearance through a
Product Development Protocol approved by the FDA.  Establishing and completing a
Product Development  Protocol, or obtaining a pre-market approval application or
supplemental  pre-market approval application,  can take up to several years and
can  involve  preclinical  studies  and  clinical  testing.  In order to perform
clinical  testing in the United  States on an  unapproved  product,  we are also
required to obtain an Investigational Device Exemption from the FDA. In addition
to requiring clearance for new products,  FDA rules may require a filing and FDA
approval,  usually  through a pre-market  approval  application  supplement or a
510(k) Premarket  Notification  clearance,  prior to marketing products that are
modifications  of existing  products or new indications  for existing  products.
While the FDA Modernization Act of 1997, when fully implemented,  is expected to
inject  more  predictability   into  the  product  review  process,   streamline
post-market  surveillance,  and promote the global  harmonization  of regulatory
procedures, the process of obtaining the clearances can be onerous and costly.

     We cannot assure that all the necessary  approvals,  including approval for
product improvements and new products,  will be granted on a timely basis, if at
all.  Delays in receipt of, or failure to receive,  the  approvals  could have a
material adverse effect on our business.  Moreover, after clearance is given, if
the  product  is  shown  to be  hazardous  or  defective,  the FDA  and  foreign
regulatory  agencies  have the power to withdraw the  clearance or require us to
change  the  device,  its  manufacturing  process  or its  labeling,  to  supply
additional proof of its safety and effectiveness or to recall,  repair,  replace
or refund  the cost of the  medical  device.  In  addition,  federal,  state and
foreign  regulations  regarding the  manufacture and sale of medical devices are
subject to future changes.  We cannot predict what impact, if any, these changes
might have on its business. However, the changes could have a material impact on
our business.

     We have received or acquired 128 premarket  notification  clearances,  four
approved pre-market approval applications and 42 supplemental premarket approval
applications. We have one premarket notification application pending, but expect
to file  new  applications  during  the  next  year to cover  new  products  and
variations on existing products. We have several supplemental premarket approval
applications  pending,  in each case for a  modification  to the  labeling of an
existing  product.  The  most  significant  of these  supplemental  applications
propose  changes in the approved  uses for the  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration
Template.

     We are also required to register with the FDA as a device manufacturer.  As
such, we are subject to periodic  inspection by the FDA for compliance  with the
FDA's  quality  systems.  These  regulations  require  that we  manufacture  our
products  and maintain  our  documents  in a  prescribed  manner with respect to
design, manufacturing,  testing and control activities. Further, we are required
to comply with various FDA requirements for labeling and promotion.  The Medical
Device  Reporting  regulations  require that we provide  information  to the FDA
whenever  there is evidence to  reasonably  suggest  that one of our devices may
have caused or  contributed  to a death or serious  injury or, if a  malfunction
were to recur,  could  cause or  contribute  to a death or  serious  injury.  In
addition,  the FDA prohibits us from promoting a medical device before marketing
clearance  has been  received or  promoting  an approved  device for  unapproved
indications.  If the FDA  believes  that a  company  is not in  compliance  with
applicable  regulations,  it  can  institute  proceedings  to  detain  or  seize
products,  issue a  warning  letter,  issue a  recall  order,  impose  operating
restrictions,  enjoin future  violations and assess civil penalties  against us,
its officers or its  employees  and can recommend  criminal  prosecution  to the
Department  of  Justice.  These  actions  could  have a  material  impact on our
business. Other regulatory agencies may have similar powers.

     Medical device laws are also in effect in many of the countries outside the
United  States in which we do  business.  These laws  range  from  comprehensive
device  approval  and  quality  system  requirements  for some or all of the our
medical device products to simpler requests for product data or  certifications.
The number and scope of these  requirements  are  increasing.  In June 1998, the
European  Union  Medical  Device  Directive  became  effective,  and all medical
devices must meet the Medical  Device  Directive  standards  and receive CE mark
certification.  CE Mark  certification  involves a comprehensive  Quality System
program, and submission of data on a product to the Notified Body in Europe. The
Medical  Device  Directive,  the ISO 9000 series of  standards,  and EN46001 are
recognized  international  quality  standards  that are  designed  to  ensure we
develop and  manufacture  quality  medical  devices.  Each of our  facilities is
audited  on an  annual  basis  by a  recognized  Notified  Body  to  verify  our
compliance with


                                       40



these  standards.  In  2000,  each of our  facilities  was  audited  and we have
maintained our certification to these standards.


     In addition, we are required to notify the FDA if we export medical devices
manufactured  in the United  States  that have not been  approved by the FDA for
distribution  in the United  States.  We are also  required to maintain  certain
records  relating  to  exports  and make the  records  available  to the FDA for
inspection, if required. We do not currently export medical devices manufactured
in the United States that have not been approved by the FDA, although we have in
the past.


OTHER UNITED STATES REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

     In addition to the regulatory  framework for product approvals,  we are and
may  be  subject  to  regulation   under  federal  and  state  laws,   including
requirements regarding occupational health and safety; laboratory practices; and
the use, handling and disposal of toxic or hazardous substances.  We may also be
subject to other present and possible future local,  state,  federal and foreign
regulations.


     Our  research,   development  and   manufacturing   processes  involve  the
controlled use of certain hazardous materials.  We are subject to federal, state
and local laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling
and disposal of these materials and certain waste products.  Although we believe
that our safety  procedures for handling and disposing of these materials comply
with the standards prescribed by the controlling laws and regulations,  the risk
of accidental  contamination or injury from these materials cannot be completely
eliminated.  In the event of this type of an  accident,  we could be held liable
for any  damages  that  result and any  liability  could  exceed our  resources.
Although we believe  that we are in  compliance  in all material  respects  with
applicable environmental laws and regulations,  we cannot guarantee that we will
not incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations in
the future,  nor that our operations,  business or assets will not be materially
adversely affected by current or future environmental laws or regulations.


PATENTS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

     We pursue a policy of seeking patent protection of our technology, products
and  product  improvements  both in the United  States and in  selected  foreign
countries. When determined appropriate, we have enforced and plan to continue to
enforce and defend our patent rights. In general, however, we do not rely on our
patent estate to provide us with any significant competitive advantages. We rely
upon trade  secrets  and  continuing  technological  innovations  to develop and
maintain our competitive position. In an effort to protect our trade secrets, we
have a policy of requiring our  employees,  consultants  and advisors to execute
proprietary information and invention assignment agreements upon commencement of
employment or consulting  relationships  with us. These agreements  provide that
all confidential  information  developed or made known to the individual  during
the course of their  relationship with us must be kept  confidential,  except in
specified circumstances.


     BioMend(R),   Camino(R),   Clinical   Neuro   Systems(TM),    CollaCote(R),
CollaPlug(R),    CollaStat(TM),    CollaTape(R),    Dissectron(R),   DuraGen(R),

COMPETITION

     The  largest  competitors  of  Integra  NeuroSciences  in the  neurosurgery
markets are the PS Medical  division of Medtronic,  Inc., the Codman division of
Johnson & Johnson,  the Valleylab and Radionics  divisions of Tyco International
Ltd.,  and NMT  Neurosciences,  a division of NMT  Medical,  Inc.  In  addition,
various  of  the  Integra  NeuroSciences  product  lines  compete  with  smaller
specialized  companies  or  larger  companies  that do not  otherwise  focus  on
neurosurgery.  The  products  of Integra  LifeSciences  face  diverse  and broad
competition,  depending on the market  addressed  by the  product.  In addition,
certain  companies  are known to be competing  particularly  in the area of skin
substitution  or  regeneration,  including  Organogenesis  and  Advanced  Tissue
Sciences.  Finally,  in certain

                                       41



cases competition  consists  primarily of current medical practice,  rather than
any  particular   product  (such  as  autograft   tissue  as  a  substitute  for
INTEGRA(R)-Dermal  Regeneration  Template).  Depending on the product  line,  we
compete  on  the  basis  of  our  products'  features,  strength  of  our  sales
organization or marketing  partner,  sophistication of our technology,  and cost
effectiveness of our solution to the customer's medical requirements.

FACILITIES


     Our  principal  executive  offices are located in  Plainsboro,  New Jersey.
Principal  manufacturing and research facilities are located in Plainsboro,  New
Jersey,  San Diego,  California,  Anasco,  Puerto  Rico,  Andover,  England  and
Mielkendorf,  Germany,  and we have a national  distribution center in Cranbury,
New  Jersey.  In  addition,  we lease  several  smaller  facilities  to  support
additional  administrative,  assembly, and storage operations.  Our total office
manufacturing  and research  space  approximates  180,000 square feet with lease
payments of approximately  $125,000 per month. Our Integra LifeSciences products
are manufactured in Plainsboro,  Anasco and Andover and distributed  through the
national distribution center and the Andover facility. Our Integra NeuroSciences
products are manufactured in the Plainsboro,  San Diego,  Andover,  Mielkendorf,
and Anasco  facilities  and are  distributed  through the national  distribution
center and the Andover facility. All of our facilities are leased.

     All of our  manufacturing  and distribution  facilities are registered with
the FDA. Our facilities are subject to FDA inspection to assure  compliance with
quality requirements requirements.  We believe that our manufacturing facilities
are in  substantial  compliance  with quality  requirements,  suitable for their
intended  purposes and have capacities  adequate for current and projected needs
for existing products. Some capacity of the plants is being converted,  with any
needed modification,  to meet the current and projected requirements of existing
and future products.


EMPLOYEES


     At July 9, 2001, we had  approximately  550 permanent  employees engaged in
production  and  production  support  (including  warehouse,   engineering,  and
facilities  personnel),   quality   assurance/quality   control,   research  and
development, regulatory and clinical affairs, sales/marketing and administration
and  finance.  None  of  our  current  employees  are  subject  to a  collective
bargaining agreement.


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


     In July 1996, we filed a patent  infringement  lawsuit in the United States
District  Court for the Southern  District of  California  against Merck KGaA, a
German  corporation,   Scripps  Research  Institute,   a  California   nonprofit
corporation,  and David A. Cheresh,  Ph.D.,  a research  scientist with Scripps,
seeking  damages and  injunctive  relief.  The  complaint  charged,  among other
things,  that the defendant Merck KGaA willfully and deliberately  induced,  and
continues to willfully and  deliberately  induce,  defendants  Scripps  Research
Institute  and Dr.  David A. Cheresh to infringe  certain of our patents.  These
patents  are part of a group of patents  granted to The  Burnham  Institute  and
licensed  by us that  are  based on the  interaction  between  a family  of cell
surface proteins called integrins and the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid peptide
sequence found in many  extracellular  matrix  proteins.  The defendants filed a
countersuit  asking for an award of defendants'  reasonable  attorney fees. This
case went to trial in February  2000,  and on March 17, 2000, a jury  returned a
unanimous  verdict for us finding that Merck KGaA had  infringed and induced the
infringement of our patents,  and awarded  $15,000,000 in damages.  On September
29,  2000,  the  United  States  District  Court for the  Southern  District  of
California  entered judgment in our favor and against Merck KGaA in the case. In
entering  the  judgment,  the court also  granted us  pre-judgment  interest  of
approximately   $1,350,000,   bringing   the  total   amount  to   approximately
$16,350,000,   plus  post-judgment  interest.  Various  post-trial  motions  are
pending,  including  a request by Merck  KGaA for a judgment  as a matter of law
notwithstanding  the  verdict,  which  could  have the  effect of  reducing  the
judgment or  reversing  the verdict of the jury.  In  addition,  if we win these
post-trial  motions,  we expect  Merck KGaA to appeal  various  decisions of the
Court.  No  amounts  for this  favorable  verdict  have  been  reflected  in our
financial statements.

     We are also subject to other claims and lawsuits in the ordinary  course of
our business, including claims by employees and with respect to our products. In
the opinion of  management,  the other claims are either  adequately  covered by
insurance or otherwise indemnified, and are not expected, individually or in the
aggregate,  to result in a material  adverse effect on our financial  condition.
Our financial statements do not reflect any material amounts related to possible
unfavorable  outcomes of the matters  above or others.  However,  it is possible
that these


                                       42




contingencies  could  materially  affect our  results of  operations,  financial
position and cash flows in a particular period.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK


     Our  authorized  capital  stock  as  stated  in our  Amended  and  Restated
Certificate of Incorporation consists of 60,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01
par value per share, and 15,000,000  shares of preferred  stock,  $.01 par value
per share. The following  summary of our common stock and preferred stock is not
complete  and may not contain all the  information  you should  consider  before
investing in our common stock.  This  description is subject to and qualified in
its entirety by provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws, which
are included as exhibits to the registration  statement of which this prospectus
is a part, and by provisions of applicable Delaware law.


COMMON STOCK


     As of March  23,  2001,  there  were  20,874,955  shares  of  common  stock
outstanding  and held of  record by  approximately  825  stockholders,  assuming
conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of common stock
are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters  submitted to a vote
of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights.  Accordingly,  holders
of a majority of the outstanding  shares of common stock entitled to vote in any
election of directors may elect all the directors standing for election. Holders
of common stock are entitled to receive ratably the dividends, if any, as may be
declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available  therefor.  If
we are liquidated,  dissolved or wound-up,  holders of common stock are entitled
to receive ratably our net assets available for  distribution  after the payment
of, or adequate provision for, all of our debts and other  liabilities,  subject
to prior and  superior  rights of the  holders of  Preferred  Stock.  Holders of
common  stock have no  preemptive,  subscription,  redemption,  sinking  fund or
conversion  rights.  Immediately upon consummation of this offering,  all of the
then-outstanding  shares of common stock will be validly issued,  fully paid and
nonassessable.


PREFERRED STOCK


     The board of  directors,  without  further  stockholder  authorization,  is
authorized to issue,  from time to time,  up to  15,000,000  shares of Preferred
Stock in one or more series, to establish the number of shares to be included in
any of these series and to fix the designations,  powers, preferences and rights
of the shares of each of these  series and any  qualifications,  limitations  or
restrictions  thereof,  including dividend rights and preferences over dividends
on the Common Stock,  conversion rights,  voting rights,  redemption rights, the
terms of any sinking fund therefor and rights upon  liquidation.  The ability of
the board of directors to issue Preferred Stock, while providing  flexibility in
connection with financing, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have
the effect of  discouraging,  deferring or  preventing a change in control or an
unsolicited acquisition proposal, since the issuance of Preferred Stock could be
used to dilute  the share  ownership  of a person  or entity  seeking  to obtain
control of us. In  addition,  because  the board of  directors  has the power to
establish  the  preferences,  powers  and  rights of the  shares of any of these
series of  Preferred  Stock,  it may afford the holders of any  Preferred  Stock
preferences, powers and rights (including voting rights) senior to the rights of
the holders of Common Stock,  which could adversely affect the rights of holders
of Common Stock.

     As of June 29, 2001, we had designated three series of Preferred Stock, but
only one was outstanding.


     SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK.


     Our  board of  directors  have  authorized  2,000,000  shares  of  Series A
Convertible  Preferred  Stock, of which 500,000 were issued in connection with a
series of agreements with Century  Medical,  Inc., a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
ITOCHU Corporation, under which Century Medical, Inc. distributes certain of our
products in Japan.  Century  Medical,  Inc. has converted its Series A Preferred
Stock into Common Stock. We do not expect to issue new Series A Preferred Stock.


     SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK.


     Our  board  of  directors  has  authorized   120,000  shares  of  Series  B
Convertible Preferred Stock, 100,000 of which were issued in connection with the
acquisition  of the NeuroCare  Group in March 1999.  The purchase  price for the


                                       49




acquisition was financed in part through the sale of $10 million of the Series B
Preferred Stock and related warrants to SFM Domestic Investments LLC and Quantum
Industrial  Partners LDC,  affiliates of Soros Private Equity  Partners LLC. The
shares of Series B Preferred Stock were convertible into 2,617,800 shares of our
common  stock.  The  warrants  issued  at the time of the  sale of the  Series B
Preferred Stock were exercised in March 2001.

     On May 4, 2001,  we notified  the holders of the Series B Preferred  of its
intention to redeem these shares on June 29, 2001 for $12.3 million. The holders
of the Series B  Preferred  had the right to convert  their  shares  into common
stock prior to this  redemption.  As of June 26, 2001, all of the holders of the
Series B  Preferred  exercised  this right to convert  their  100,000  shares of
Series B Preferred Stock into 2,617,800 shares of common stock. We do not expect
to issue new Series B Preferred Stock.


     SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK


     Our  board  of  directors  have  authorized   54,000  shares  of  Series  C
Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  all of which  were  issued on March 29,  2000 to
investment  affiliates  of Soros  Private  Equity  Partners  LLC,  resulting  in
proceeds to Integra of $5.4 million. In connection with this investment, we also
issued to affiliates of Soros Private  Equity  Partners LLC warrants to purchase
300,000  shares  of common  stock at $9.00 per  share.  The  warrants  expire on
December 31, 2001. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock are  convertible  into
600,000 shares of our common stock.


     DESIGNATION/RANKING.  The Series C Preferred Stock rank equal to our Series
B  Preferred  Stock and  senior  to our  common  stock  and all of our  Series A
Preferred  Stock with respect to the payment of  distributions  on  liquidation,
dissolution  or  winding  up of  Integra  or  with  respect  to the  payment  of
dividends.

     DIVIDENDS.  Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive
annual  cumulative  dividends  which shall  accrue at the rate of 10% per annum,
payable upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up Integra.


     CONVERSION.  Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled, at their
option at any time,  to convert  the Series C  Preferred  Stock so held into the
number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock as obtained by (i)
multiplying  the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock so to be converted
by $100.00 and (ii) dividing the result by the conversion  price (which is $9.00
per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the certificate
of designation for the Series C Preferred Stock).

     VOTING RIGHTS. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
notice of any stockholders  meeting.  Except as otherwise  required by law, each
outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes
equal to the  number  of full  shares of common  stock  into  which the share of
Series C Preferred  Stock is  convertible  on the record date for any meeting of
stockholders.  Except as otherwise required by law, the Series C Preferred Stock
and the common stock vote together as a single class on each matter submitted to
the stockholders, and not by separate class or series.

     OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.  If, at any time after March 15, 2002, for a period of
not less than thirty (30) consecutive trading days, the average closing price of
our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market has been equal to or greater than
the Target Market Price (as defined  below),  then we may redeem from any source
of funds  legally  available  therefor,  in whole or in part,  any or all  whole
number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock at any time  outstanding for a cash
amount per share equal to the liquidation  preference at the date of redemption.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,  at any time and from time to time after March 1,
2004,  we may redeem from any source of funds  legally  available  therefor,  in
whole or in part, any or all whole number of shares of Series C Preferred  Stock
at any time  outstanding  for an amount  per share to be  redeemed  equal to the
liquidation  preference  at the date of  redemption.  The "Target  Market Price"
shall mean an amount equal to 2.5 times the  conversion  price as last  adjusted
and then in effect.


REGISTRATION RIGHTS


     Under the terms of stockholder and registration  rights agreements  between
us and certain of our stockholders,  Holders of an aggregate of 7,883,081 shares
of our common  stock  (including  shares  issuable  upon the exercise of


                                       50




certain  warrants  and stock  options,  upon  conversion  of  certain  preferred
securities,  and shares underlying certain "restricted  units"), are entitled to
demand that we register those shares under the Securities Act. Additionally,  if
we propose to register any of our securities  under the Securities  Act,  either
for our own account or for the account of any other stockholder,  the parties to
certain of our stockholder and  registration  rights  agreements are entitled to
notice of the  registration  and to include  their shares of common stock in the
registration.   These  registration   rights  are  subject  to  limitations  and
conditions, including the right of the underwriters of the offering to limit the
number of shares included in any  registration  thereunder.  In general,  we are
required  to  indemnify  the  holders  of  those  registrable  securities  under
described circumstances and to bear the expense of registrations, except for the
selling  stockholders'  pro  rata  portion  of the  underwriting  discounts  and
commissions.


DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW


     Section 203 of the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law  prohibits  certain
"business  combination"  transactions  between a  Delaware  corporation  and any
"interested  stockholder"  owning 15% or more of the  corporation's  outstanding
voting stock for a period of three years after the date on which the stockholder
became an interested stockholder, unless:

     o    the  board of  directors  approves,  prior  to the  date,  either  the
          proposed  business  combination  or the proposed  acquisition of stock
          which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;


     o    upon consummation of the transaction in which the stockholder  becomes
          an interested  stockholder,  the interested stockholder owned at least
          85% of those shares of the voting stock of the  corporation  which are
          not held by the directors,  officers or certain  employee stock plans;
          or


     o    on or  subsequent  to the  date on which  the  stockholder  became  an
          interested  stockholder,  the business combination with the interested
          stockholder is approved by the board of directors and also approved at
          a stockholder's  meeting by the affirmative  vote of the holders of at
          least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the corporation's voting
          stock other than shares held by the interested stockholder.


     Under Delaware law, a "business  combination" includes a merger, asset sale
or  other  transaction  resulting  in a  financial  benefit  to  the  interested
stockholder.  Section 203 does not apply, however, to those stockholders who own
15% or more of our voting stock prior to this offering.

                         SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

     The sale of a  substantial  amount of our common stock in the public market
after this offering could  adversely  affect the prevailing  market price of our
common stock and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

     Upon completion of this offering,  we will have outstanding an aggregate of
24,741,400  shares of our common  stock,  assuming no  exercise  of  outstanding
options and warrants.  Of these shares, all shares previously sold in registered
offerings,  including  all of the shares sold in this  offering,  will be freely
tradable without  restriction or further  registration under the Securities Act,
unless the shares are purchased by  "affiliates" as that term is defined in Rule
144 under the  Securities  Act. Any shares  purchased by an affiliate may not be
resold except pursuant to an effective  registration  statement or an applicable
exemption  from  registration,  including  an  exemption  under  Rule 144 of the
Securities  Act.  The  remaining   shares  of  common  stock  held  by  existing
stockholders  are  "restricted  securities"  as that term is defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act. These restricted  securities may be sold in the public
market only if they are  registered  or if they  qualify for an  exemption  from
registration  under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the  Securities  Act. These rules
are summarized below.

     In  connection   with  this  offering,   persons  owning  an  aggregate  of
[----------] shares of our common stock after this offering have agreed with the
underwriters that,  subject to exceptions,  they will not sell or dispose of any
of their shares for [--] days after the date of this prospectus. The underwriter
may, in its sole discretion and at any time without  notice,  release all or any
portion of the shares subject to such  restrictions.  The shares of common stock
outstanding  upon closing of this  offering  will be  available  for sale in the
public market as follows:


   APPROXIMATE      DESCRIPTION
NUMBER OF SHARES

      [---]         After  the  date of  this  prospectus,  including  4,312,500
                    freely  tradable  shares sold in this offering (assuming the
                    underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised).

      [---]         After  [--]  days  from  the  date of this  prospectus,  the
                    lock-up period will expire and these shares will be saleable
                    under  Rule  144   (subject,   in  some  cases,   to  volume
                    limitations).


     In  addition,  after the  offering  there  will be  outstanding  options to
purchase  3,941,105 shares of common stock and outstanding  warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 310,811 shares of common stock. In addition, we have outstanding
54,000 shares of preferred stock convertible into 600,000 common shares.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS

     We,  our  executive  officers,  directors,  and  certain  of  our  existing
stockholders and optionholders have agreed not to offer, sell,  contract to sell
or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock for a period of [--] days
after  the  date of  this  prospectus  without  the  prior  written  consent  of
underwriters, except, in the case of the company, for the shares of common stock
to be issued in  connection  with the  offering or pursuant to employee  benefit
plans existing on the date of this  prospectus or sales or  dispositions  to our
company,  permitted  transfers to related  parties that agree to be bound by the
foregoing  restrictions,  and  permitted  sales of shares  acquired  in the open
market following the completion of the offering. During this period we may grant
stock-based  awards  under our stock award and  employee  benefit  plans,  which
include  the 1992  Stock  Option  Plan,  the 1993  Incentive  Stock  Option  and
Non-Qualified   Stock  Option  Plan,  the  1996   Incentive   Stock  Option  and
Non-Qualified  Stock  Option Plan,  the 1998 Stock  Option Plan,  the 1999 Stock
Option  Plan,  the 2000 Equity  Incentive  Plan,  and the  Integra  LifeSciences
Employee  Stock Purchase Plan, and we may also issue shares of common stock upon
the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding
on the date hereof and in connection with acquisitions.

RULE 144

     In  general,  under  Rule 144 as  currently  in  effect,  a person  who has
beneficially  owned  shares of our  common  stock for at least one year from the
later of the date those shares of common stock were  acquired from us or from an
affiliate  of ours would be  entitled to sell  within any  three-month  period a
number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

     o    one percent of the number of shares of common stock then  outstanding,
          which  will  equal  approximately  20,741,400  shares  prior  to  this
          offering  and  20,741,400  shares   immediately  after  this  offering
          (assuming exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option); or

     o    the average  weekly trading volume of the common stock on the National
          Association of Securities  Dealers' Automated  Quotation System during
          the four calendar  weeks  preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144
          with respect to the sale of any shares of common stock.

     The sales of any shares of common  stock under Rule 144 are also subject to
manner of sale  provisions and notice  requirements  and to the  availability of
current public information about us.


RULE 144(K)

         Under Rule  144(k),  a person who is not one of our  affiliates  at any
time during the three months  preceding a sale, and who has  beneficially  owned
the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years from the later of the date
such shares of common stock were  acquired from us or from an affiliate of ours,
including  the holding  period of any prior owner  other than an  affiliate,  is
entitled to sell those shares without  complying with the manner of sale, public
information,  volume  limitation or notice  provisions  of Rule 144.  Therefore,
unless  otherwise  restricted  pursuant to the lock-up  agreements or otherwise,
those shares may be sold immediately upon the completion of this offering.

RULE 701

         In  general,  under  Rule 701 of the  Securities  Act as  currently  in
effect, each of our employees, consultants or advisors who purchases shares from
us in connection  with a compensatory  stock plan or other written  agreement is
eligible to resell those shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without  compliance
with some of the restrictions,  including the holding period,  contained in Rule
144.

     No precise  prediction  can be made as to the effect,  if any,  that market
sales of shares or the  availability  of shares for sale will have on the market
price of our  common  stock  prevailing  from  time to time.  We are  unable  to
estimate the number of our shares that may be sold in the public market pursuant
to Rule 144 or Rule 701  because  this will  depend on the  market  price of our
common  stock,  the  personal  circumstances  of the sellers and other  factors.
Nevertheless,  sales of  significant  amounts of our common  stock in the public
market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

STOCK PLANS

     We have filed a  registration  statement  under the Securities Act covering
8,504,745 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our stock award and
employee benefit plans.


     As  of  June  30,  2001,  there  were  options  to  purchase  4,779  shares
outstanding under our 1992 Stock Option Plan, options to purchase 390,723 shares
outstanding under the 1993 Incentive Stock Option and Non-Qualified Stock Option
Plan,  options to purchase 566,227 shares  outstanding  under the 1996 Incentive
Stock Option and  Non-Qualified  Stock Option Plan,  options to purchase 718,518
shares  outstanding  under the 1998  Stock  Option  Plan,  options  to  purchase
1,760,168  shares  outstanding  under the 1999 Stock Option Plan, and options to
purchase 500,690 shares outstanding under the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. All of
these shares will be eligible  for sale in the public  market from time to time,
subject to vesting  provisions,  Rule 144 volume  limitations  applicable to our
affiliates  and, in the case of some of the options,  the  expiration of lock-up
agreements and the investors' agreement.


                                       52




              CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR
                    NON-UNITED STATES HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK

         The  following is a general  discussion  of the material  U.S.  federal
income and estate tax  consequences  of the  ownership  and  disposition  of our
common stock by a non-U.S. holder. In general, a non-U.S. holder is:

         o        an individual who is a nonresident alien of the U.S.;

         o        a corporation or other entity taxed as a corporation organized
                  or created under non-U.S. law;

         o        an estate  that is not  taxable in the U.S.  on its  worldwide
                  income; or

         o        a trust that is either not subject to primary supervision over
                  its  administration  by a U.S.  court  or not  subject  to the
                  control of a U.S.  person with  respect to  substantial  trust
                  decisions.

         If a  partnership  holds common  stock,  the tax treatment of a partner
will generally  depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of
the partnership.  If you are a partner of a partnership holding common stock, we
suggest that you consult your tax advisor.

         If you are an  individual,  you may, in many  cases,  be deemed to be a
resident alien, as opposed to a nonresident alien, by virtue of being present in
the United States for at least 31 days in the calendar year and for an aggregate
of at least 183 days during a three-year  period ending in the current  calendar
year  (counting  for such  purposes all of the days present in the current year,
one-third of the days present in the  immediately  preceding year, and one-sixth
of the days present in the second preceding  year).  Resident aliens are subject
to U.S. federal income tax as if they were U.S. citizens.

         This  discussion  is based on the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
amended (the "CODE") and  administrative  interpretations  of the Code as of the
date of this prospectus,  all of which are subject to change,  including changes
with retroactive effect.

         This discussion  does not address all aspects of U.S. federal taxation,
and in particular is limited in the ways that follow:

         o        the  discussion  assumes  that you hold your common stock as a
                  capital asset and that you do not have a special tax status;

         o        the discussion does not consider tax consequences  that depend
                  upon  your  particular  tax  situation  in  addition  to  your
                  ownership of the common stock;

         o        the discussion  does not consider  special tax provisions that
                  may  be  applicable  to  you if  you  have  relinquished  U.S.
                  citizenship or residence;

         o        the discussion does not cover state, local or foreign law; and

         o        we have not  requested  a ruling  from  the  Internal  Revenue
                  Service  ("IRS") on the tax  consequences of owning the common
                  stock.  As a result,  the IRS could  disagree with portions of
                  this discussion.



                                       53



         Each prospective  purchaser of common stock is advised to consult a tax
advisor  with  respect to  current  and  possible  future  tax  consequences  of
purchasing,  owning  and  disposing  of our  common  stock  as  well  as any tax
consequences  that  may  arise  under  the  laws  of any  United  States  state,
municipality or other taxing jurisdiction.

DISTRIBUTIONS

         Distributions  paid  on the  shares  of  common  stock  generally  will
constitute  dividends  for U.S.  federal  income tax purposes to the extent paid
from our current or accumulated  earnings and profits,  as determined under U.S.
federal  income  tax   principles.   To  the  extent  that  the  amount  of  any
distributions  exceeds our current and  accumulated  earnings  and profits for a
taxable year,  the  distribution  first will be treated as a tax-free  return of
your basis in the shares of common  stock,  causing a reduction  in the adjusted
basis of the common stock,  and the balance in excess of adjusted  basis will be
taxed as capital  gain  recognized  on a  disposition  of the  common  stock (as
discussed below).

         As discussed under "Common Stock Price Ranges and Dividends," we do not
currently  expect  to pay  dividends.  In the  event  that we do pay  dividends,
subject to the discussion below,  dividends paid to a non-U.S.  holder of common
stock  generally will be subject to  withholding  tax at a 30% rate or a reduced
rate specified by an applicable  income tax treaty. A non-U.S.  holder generally
must file IRS Form W-8BEN to certify its entitlement to the benefit of a reduced
rate of withholding  under an income tax treaty. If common stock is held through
a  foreign   partnership  or  a  foreign   intermediary,   the   partnership  or
intermediary,  as well as the partners or  beneficial  owners,  may need to meet
certification requirements.

         The  withholding  tax does not apply to  dividends  paid to a  non-U.S.
holder that provides a Form W-8ECI certifying that the dividends are effectively
connected with the non-U.S.  holder's  conduct of a trade or business within the
United States.  Instead,  the effectively  connected dividends generally will be
subject  to  regular  U.S.  income tax as if the  non-U.S.  holders  were a U.S.
resident.  If the  non-U.S.  holder is eligible for the benefits of a tax treaty
between  the  U.S.  and the  holder's  country  of  residence,  any  effectively
connected  income  will be  subject  to U.S.  federal  income  tax only if it is
attributable to a permanent  establishment in the U.S.  maintained by the holder
and  such  treaty-based  tax  position  is  disclosed  to the  IRS.  A  non-U.S.
corporation  receiving effectively connected dividends also may be subject to an
additional  "branch  profits  tax"  imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower  treaty
rate) on an earnings amount that is net of the regular tax.

         You may obtain a refund of any  excess  amounts  withheld  by filing an
appropriate claim for refund along with the required information with the IRS.

GAIN ON DISPOSITION OF COMMON STOCK

         A non-U.S.  holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income
tax on gain realized on a sale or other disposition of common stock unless:

         o        the gain is  effectively  connected with the trade or business
                  of the  non-U.S.  holder in the United  States and, if certain
                  tax   treaties   apply,   is   attributable   to  a  permanent
                  establishment in the U.S. maintained by such holder;

         o        in the case of certain  non-U.S.  holders who are non-resident
                  alien  individuals  and hold  the  common  stock as a  capital
                  asset,  the  individuals  are present in the United States for
                  183 or more days in the taxable  year of the  disposition  and
                  certain conditions are met; or


                                       54



         o        we are or have been a U.S. real property  holding  corporation
                  at  any  time  within  the  five-year   period  preceding  the
                  disposition or during the non-U.S.  holder's  holding  period,
                  whichever period is shorter.

         The tax relating to stock in a U.S. real property  holding  corporation
does not apply to a non-U.S. holder whose holdings, actual and constructive,  at
all times during the applicable period, amount to 5% or less of the common stock
of a U.S. real property holding  corporation,  provided that the common stock is
regularly traded on an established  securities market.  Generally, a corporation
is a U.S. real property holding corporation if the fair market value of its U.S.
real  property  interests,  as defined in the code and  applicable  regulations,
equals or exceeds 50% of the aggregate  fair market value of its worldwide  real
property  interests  and its  other  assets  used or held  for use in a trade or
business.  We may be, or may prior to a non-U.S.  holder's disposition of common
stock become, a U.S. real property holding corporation.

INFORMATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING

         We must report  annually to the IRS the amount of dividends  paid,  the
name and address of the recipient, and the amount of any tax withheld. A similar
report is sent to the non-U.S.  holder.  Under tax treaties or other agreements,
the IRS may make its reports  available to tax  authorities  in the  recipient's
country of residence.  A non-U.S.  holder will  generally be required to certify
its non-U.S. status in order to avoid backup withholding on dividends.

         U.S.  information  reporting and backup withholding  generally will not
apply to a payment  of  proceeds  of a  disposition  of common  stock  where the
transaction is effected outside the United States through a non-U.S. office of a
non-U.S.  broker. However,  information reporting  requirements,  but not backup
withholding, generally will apply to such a payment if the broker is:

         o        a U.S. person;

         o        a foreign  person that derives 50% or more of its gross income
                  for certain periods from the conduct of a trade or business in
                  the U.S.;

         o        a controlled foreign corporation as defined in the Code; or

         o        a foreign partnership with certain U.S. connections.

         Information reporting requirements will not apply in the above cases if
the broker has documentary evidence in its records that the holder is a non-U.S.
holder and certain  conditions  are met or the holder  otherwise  establishes an
exemption.

         A non-U.S.  holder will be required to certify its non-U.S.  status, in
order to avoid  information  reporting  and backup  withholding  on  disposition
proceeds,  where the  transaction  is effected by or through a U.S.  office of a
broker.

         Backup  withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability
of persons  subject to backup  withholding  will be reduced by the amount of tax
withheld.  When withholding  results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be
obtained if the required information is furnished to the IRS.

                                 UNDERWRITING

                  Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an
underwriting agreement dated the date of this prospectus, the underwriters named
below have severally agreed to purchase, and Integra has agreed to sell to them,
severally, the number of shares indicated below:

                                                                      NUMBER OF
NAME                                                                     SHARES
----                                                                     ------
 .............................................................
 .............................................................
 .............................................................
    Total....................................................         3,750,000

                  The underwriters are offering the shares of common stock
subject to their acceptance of the shares from Integra and subject to prior
sale. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several
underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the shares of common stock
offered by this prospectus are subject to the approval of certain legal matters
by their counsel and to certain other conditions. The underwriters are obligated
to take and pay for all of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus
if any such shares are taken. However, the underwriters are not required to take
or pay for the shares covered by the underwriters' over-allotment option
described below.

                  The per share price of any shares sold by the underwriters
shall be the public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus,
in United States dollars, less an amount not greater than the per share amount
of the concession to dealers described below.

                  The underwriters initially propose to offer part of the shares
of common stock directly to the public at the public offering price listed on
the cover page of this prospectus and part to certain dealers at a price that
represents a concession  not in excess of  $            a share under the public
offering price.  After the initial  offering of the shares of common stock,  the
offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied.

                  We and certain selling stockholders have granted the
underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this
prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of 562,500 additional shares of
common stock at the public offering price listed on the cover page of this
prospectus, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters may
exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any,
made in connection with the offering of the shares of common stock offered by
this prospectus. To the extent the option is exercised, each underwriter will
become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase about the same
percentage of the additional shares of common stock as the number listed next to
the underwriter's name in the preceding table bears to the total number of
shares of common stock listed next to the names of all underwriters in the
preceding table. If the underwriters' option is exercised in full, the total
price to the public would be $        , the total underwriters' discounts and
commissions would be $       and total proceeds to Integra would be $         .

                  The common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under
the symbol "IART."

                  Each of Integra and its directors, executive officers and
certain other stockholders that in the aggregate hold approximately [_________]
shares of common stock has agreed that, without the prior written consent of the
lead underwriter on behalf of the underwriters, it will not, during the period
ending [__] days after the date of this prospectus:

         o    offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract
              to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any
              option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer
              or dispose of directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock
              or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
              for common stock; or


                                       57



         o    enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to
              another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of
              ownership of our common stock,

whether any transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of common
stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. In addition, those
directors, executive officers and stockholders have agreed that, without the
prior written consent of the lead underwriter on behalf of the underwriters,
they will not, during the period ending 90 days after the date of this
prospectus, make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the
filing of a registration statement with respect to any shares of our common
stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our
common stock.

                  The restrictions described in this paragraph do not apply to:

         o    the sale of shares to the underwriters;

         o    the issuance by us of shares of common stock upon the exercise of
              an option or a warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding
              on the date of this prospectus of which the underwriters have been
              advised in writing;

         o    the registration of and issuance by us of shares of common stock
              in connection with acquisitions provided that such shares may not
              be sold by the seller until [__] days after the date of this
              prospectus;

         o    transactions by any person other than Integra relating to shares
              of common stock or other securities acquired in open market
              transactions after the completion of the offering of the shares;

         o    the grant of options or stock under our equity and incentive plans
              as in effect on the date of this prospectus; and

         o    the transfer of shares by any person other than Integra to a
              member of that person's immediate family or any affiliate of that
              person if the transferee agrees to be subject to the restrictions
              described above.

                  In order to facilitate the offering of the common stock, the
underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the price of the common stock. Specifically, the underwriters may
over-allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in the
common stock for their own account. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to
stabilize the price of the common stock, the underwriters may bid for, and
purchase, shares of common stock in the open market. Finally, the underwriting
syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer
for distributing the common stock in the offering, if the syndicate repurchases
previously distributed common stock in transactions to cover syndicate short
positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities
may stabilize or maintain the market price of the common stock above independent
market levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities,
and may end any of these activities at any time.

                  In addition, in connection with this offering, certain of the
underwriters (and selling group members) may engage in passive market making
transactions in the common stock on the Nasdaq National Market, prior to the
pricing and completion of the offering. Passive market making consists of
displaying bids on the Nasdaq National Market no higher than the bid prices of
independent market makers and making purchases at prices no higher than these
independent bids and effected in response to order flow. Net purchases by a
passive market maker on each day are limited to a specified percentage of the
passive market maker's average daily trading volume in the common stock during a
specified period and must be discontinued when such limit is reached. Passive
market making may cause the price of the common stock to be higher than the
price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of such
transactions. If passive market making is commenced, it may be discontinued at
any time.

                  Integra and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify each
other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act of 1933.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

     Officers and directors of Integra are covered by certain  provisions of the
DGCL, the charter,  the bylaws and insurance policies which serve to limit, and,
in certain instances, to indemnify them against,  certain liabilities which they
may incur in such capacities. These various provisions are described below.

     ELIMINATION OF LIABILITY IN CERTAIN  CIRCUMSTANCES.  In June 1986, Delaware
enacted  legislation  which  authorizes  corporations  to limit or eliminate the
personal  liability of  directors to  corporations  and their  stockholders  for
monetary  damages for breach of directors'  fiduciary duty of care. This duty of
care requires  that,  when acting on behalf of the  corporation,  directors must
exercise an informed  business  judgment  based on all  significant  information
reasonably  available to them.  Absent the  limitations  now  authorized by such
legislation,  directors are accountable to corporations  and their  stockholders
for monetary damages for conduct constituting  negligence or gross negligence in
the  exercise  of their  duty of care.  Although  the  statute  does not  change
directors' duty of care, it enables  corporations  to limit available  relief to
equitable  remedies  such as injunction or  rescission.  The charter  limits the
liability  of  directors to Integra or its  stockholders  (in their  capacity as
directors but not in their capacity as officers) to the fullest extent permitted
by  such  legislation.  Specifically,  the  directors  of  Integra  will  not be
personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty
as director,  except for liability: (1) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to Integra or its  stockholders;  (2) for acts or omissions  not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3)
for unlawful  payments of dividends or unlawful share repurchases or redemptions
as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL;  or (4) for any  transaction  from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.

     INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.  As a Delaware corporation,  Integra has the
power, under specified circumstances generally requiring the director or officer
to act in good  faith and in a manner  he  reasonably  believes  to be in or not
opposed to Integra's best interests,  to indemnify its directors and officers in
connection  with actions,  suits or proceedings  brought against them by a third
party or in the name of  Integra,  by  reason  of the fact that they were or are
such directors or officers, against expenses,  judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding. The bylaws
generally  provide for  mandatory  indemnification  of Integra's  directors  and
officers to the full extent  provided by Delaware  corporate  law. In  addition,
Integra has entered  into  indemnification  agreements  with its  directors  and
officers   which   generally   provide  for  mandatory   indemnification   under
circumstances for which  indemnification  would otherwise be discretionary under
Delaware law.

     Integra intends to purchase and maintain  insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a  director  or  officer of  Integra,  or is or was a director  or
officer of Integra  serving at the  request of Integra as a  director,  officer,
employee


                                      II-1



or agent of another corporation,  partnership,  joint venture,  trust,  employee
benefit plan or other enterprise  against any liability asserted against him and
incurred  by him in any such  capacity,  or  arising  out of his status as such,
whether or not  Integra  would have the power or  obligation  to  indemnify  him
against such liability under the provisions of the bylaws.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.



     (a)  The undersigned  Registrant  hereby  undertakes  that, for purposes of
determining  any liability  under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's  annual  report  pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  (and,  where  applicable,  each  filing of an
employee  benefit  plan's  annual  report  pursuant  to  Section  15(d)  of  the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934)  that is  incorporated  by  reference  in the
registration  statement  shall  be  deemed  to be a new  registration  statement
relating to the securities offered therein,  and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (b)  Insofar  as   indemnification   for  liabilities   arising  under  the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and  controlling
persons of the registrant  under  provisions  described in Item 14 or otherwise,
the   registrant  has  been  advised  that  in  the  opinion  of  the  SEC  such
indemnification  is against  public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and is, therefore,  unenforceable.  If a claim for indemnification  against
such liabilities  (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling  person of


                                      II-4



the registrant in the successful  defense of any action,  suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director,  officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being  registered,  the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,  submit to a court
of appropriate  jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification by it is
against  public  policy as expressed in the  Securities  Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     (c)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

     (1)  For purposes of determining  any liability  under the Securities  Act,
the  information  omitted  from the form of  prospectus  filed as a part of this
Registration  Statement in reliance  upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of
prospectus  filed by the Registrant  pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under  the  Securities  Act of 1933  shall be deemed  part of this  Registration
Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

     (2)  For the purpose of determining  any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each post-effective  amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
be deemed to be a new Registration  Statement relating to the securities offered
therein,  and the offering of such securities at such time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                                   SIGNATURES


     Under the  requirements  of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended,  the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of  the  requirements  for  filing  on  Form  S-3,  and  has  duly  caused  this
Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-3  to  be  signed  on  its  behalf  by  the
undersigned,  thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Plainsboro, State of New
Jersey, on July 9, 2001.
