On Jun 7, we issued an updated research report on Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (IART - Free Report) . The company has been noticing certain major developments overseas. However, a tough competitive landscape is a concern.
This New Jersey-based company is a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of surgical implants and medical instruments for use in neurosurgery, extremity reconstruction, orthopedics and general surgery.

Integra LifeSciences exited the first quarter of 2019 with a strong organic revenue performance. Within Orthopedics business, organic growth was generated one quarter ahead of schedule, banking on an improved sales force effectiveness, product introductions and double-digit growth in both ankle and shoulder product lines.
