The  undersigned  Registrant  hereby  amends  Item 5 and the  financial  page of
Exhibit 99.1 of its Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 2, 2001.

ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

          On August 2, 2001 Integra  LifeSciences  Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq:
IART) (the "Company")  reported its financial  results for the second quarter of
2001 in a press release. A copy of the Company's press release has been filed as
an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 2, 2001.

          The  press  release  contained  an error in the  calculation  of basic
earnings per share for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 because it did
not  include the  non-cash  dividends  associated  with the  Company's  Series B
Preferred  Stock  during  that  portion  of the  period  in which  the  Series B
Preferred Stock was outstanding. The Series B Preferred Stock was converted into
2,617,800 common shares on June 26, 2001.

          The basic earnings per share for the three-month period ended June 30,
2001 was incorrectly reported as $0.13. The correct basic earnings per share for
such period is $0.12, which includes the effect of the non-cash  dividends.  All
other earnings per share  calculations  in the press release were calculated and
reported correctly.

          A revised copy of the financial  page of the Company's  original press
release has been filed as an exhibit to this  Current  Report on Form 8-K and is
incorporated herein by reference.





ITEM 7.        FINANCIAL   STATEMENTS,   PRO  FORMA  FINANCIAL  INFORMATION  AND
               EXHIBITS

(a) and (b)    None.

        2001.
