                    Integra LifeSciences Announces Results of
                      Stockholders' Vote at Annual Meeting

Plainsboro, New Jersey, May 17, 2005 -- Integra LifeSciences Holdings
Corporation (Nasdaq: IART) announced at the annual meeting of stockholders today
that David C. Auth, Ph.D., Keith Bradley, Ph.D., Richard E. Caruso, Ph.D.,
Stuart M. Essig, James M. Sullivan, and Anne M. VanLent were elected to the
Company's Board of Directors for one-year terms. Mr. Neal Moszkowski notified
the Board of Directors that he decided not to stand for re-election as a
director at the annual meeting as a result of his new firm TowerBrook Capital
Partners, L.P. being formed as a consequence of a spinout from Soros Fund
Management LLC and no longer being responsible for the management of the
continuing Soros investment in Integra. Stockholders also ratified the
appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent auditors
and approved an amendment to the Company's 2003 Equity Incentive Plan that
increased the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan from
