Executive Summary
German healthcare company B Braun Melsungen has voluntarily withdrawn all Lyodura dura mater implants worldwide, produced before January 1996, because it cannot trace the origin of all products. An inability to trace raw material in all cases contravenes good manufacturing practice standards, admitted head of marketing Gerhard Meil. He claimed that the origin of most tissue used in Lyodura can be traced.
