and the original purchaser only that each new INTEGRA product is free from manufacturing
defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one (1)
year (except as otherwise expressly provided as to accessory items) from the date of delivery
by INTEGRA to the first purchaser, but in no event beyond the expiration date stated on any
product labeling.

Surgical instruments are guaranteed to be free from defects in material and workmanship
when maintained and cleaned properly and used normally for their intended purpose.
•
Any covered product that is placed by INTEGRA under a lease, rental or installment
purchase agreement and that requires repair service during the term of such placement
agreement shall be repaired in accordance with the terms of such agreement.
If any covered defect occurs during the warranty period or term of such placement agreement,
the purchaser should communicate directly with INTEGRA’s home office. If purchaser seeks to
invoke the terms of this warranty, the product must be returned to INTEGRA at its home office.
The defective product should be returned promptly, properly packaged and postage prepaid.

repaired by anyone other than an authorized INTEGRA service representative or altered in any
way so as, in INTEGRA’s judgment, to affect its stability or reliability, or which has been subject
to misuse, negligence or accident, or which has been used otherwise than in accordance with
the instructions furnished by INTEGRA. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN
LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS
OR LIABILITIES ON INTEGRA’S PART, AND INTEGRA NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES

IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE

WARRANTY TO PATIENTS. No warranty or guarantee may be created by any act or statement
nor may this Standard Warranty be modified in any way, except as a result of a writing signed
by an officer of INTEGRA. These limitations on the creation or modification of this warranty
may not be waived or modified orally or by any conduct.
Integra Padgett dermatomes are intended for use in conjunction with Integra Padgett
dermatome blades only. Accordingly, using another manufacturer’s blades in conjunction with
an Integra Padgett dermatome will void the product warranty.
