## Indications for Use

NOCC™ Hydrophilic Wound Dressing is indicated in the dressing and management of minor burns, superficial cuts, lacerations, and abrasions; minor irritations of the skin. A health care professional may be consulted prior to the first use of the product to determine whether these conditions exist. Kytogenics' Hydrophilic Wound Dressing may also be used under the care of a health care professional for wounds such as partial thickness dermal ulcers (pressure sores, venous stasis ulcers, diabetic ulcers), surgical wounds (post operative incisions and donor sites, and second degree burns.

## Device Story

NOCC™ Hydrophilic Wound Dressing is a clear, chitosan-based hydrogel designed to provide a moist wound environment to support healing. The device is applied topically to the wound site. It is intended for both over-the-counter use for minor wounds and professional use for more complex wounds like ulcers, surgical incisions, and second-degree burns. The hydrogel is viscoelastic, biocompatible, and bioresorbable, functioning similarly to hyaluronic acid to facilitate wound management. It is supplied sterile in polyethylene bottles.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by nonclinical studies and over 10 years of evaluation demonstrating the bioresorbability and biocompatibility of the NOCC technology, including bioadhesion to soft and hard tissues.

## Technological Characteristics

Chitosan-based hydrogel; clear, viscoelastic, biocompatible, and bioresorbable. Supplied sterile via moist heat sterilization in polyethylene bottles. Similar properties to hyaluronic acid (highly hydrated, lubricious).

### Device Description

NOCC™ (N,O-Carboxymethylchitosan) Hydrophilic Wound Dressing is a hydrogel that provides a moist wound environment to support wound healing. The gel is clear which aids in visualization of the wound.

#### Intended Use

NOCC™ Hydrophilic Wound Dressing is indicated in the dressing and management of minor burns, superficial cuts, lacerations, and abrasions; minor irritations of the skin. A health care professional may be consulted prior to the first use of the product

#### Summary of Technological Characteristics

NOCC is similar in structure to Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and shares many of the same properties. Both materials are highly hydrated, lubricious, viscoelastic, biocompatible and bioresorbable.

#### Summary of Nonclinical Tests

Numerous studies, as well as over 10 years of evaluation, have demonstrated that NOCC is bioresorbable and biocompatible. The technology has been shown to have excellent bioadhesion to both soft tissue (mucosal) and hard tissue (bone).

#### Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The claim of substantial equivalence of NOCC™ Hydrophilic Wound Dressing to the predicate device is based on the comparison of the intended use, product technical characteristics, and performance characteristics.
