## Intended Use

Under the supervision of a healthcare professional, Silver Bandages are indicated for the management of pressure ulcers diabetic foot ulcers, minor cuts, scrapes, abrasions, lacerations, and burns. The Bandages are indicated for first aid to cover minor cuts, scrapes, abrasions, lacerations and burns.

## Device Story

Adhesive bandages containing silver in wound pad; designed to cover wounds and absorb exudate. Silver component provides antimicrobial properties; in vitro testing demonstrated >99% reduction in bacterial growth (S. aureus, MRSA, E. coli, E. hirae, P. aeruginosa) over 24 hours. Device consists of adhesive-coated backing, silver-containing pad, and release tabs; supplied in sterile wrapper. Used in clinical settings under professional supervision (Silver Bandage) or as OTC first aid (Bandage). Healthcare providers apply bandage to wound site to manage exudate and provide antimicrobial barrier; aids healing by protecting wound and reducing bacterial load.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. In vitro antimicrobial efficacy testing showed >99% reduction in bacterial growth (S. aureus, MRSA, E. coli, E. hirae, P. aeruginosa) over 24 hours. Biocompatibility assessment performed on tape and silver pad with satisfactory results.

## Technological Characteristics

Adhesive bandage with silver-impregnated hydrophilic wound pad. Flexible, non-absorbent backing with pressure-sensitive adhesive. Traditional bandage form factor. Sterile barrier provided by cohesive-coated paper wrapper.

## Predicate Devices

- Curad Silver Bandage ([K032463](/device/K032463.md))

The Bandage is an adhesive bandage which may be purchased for over-the-counter use as a first aid. The device consists of a hydrophyillic pad stock with sufficient absorbency to absorb normal quantities of blood or other wound exudates typical of minor abrasions or lacerations, supplied on a flexible, non-absorbent backing coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive capable of adhering the device to human skin

Prescription Use - Under the supervision of a healthcare professional, Silver Bandages are indicated for the management of pressure ulcers diabetic foot ulcers, as well as minor cuts, scrapes, abrasions, lacerations, and burns.

Over-the-counter Use - The Bandages are indicated for first aid to cover minor cuts, scrapes, abrasions, lacerations and burns.

The both bandages have a traditional bandage design consisting of an adhesive coated backing, wound pad that contains silver, paper release tabs and protected by a cohesive coated paper wrapper that serves as the sterile barrier. The types of materials are similar to the Curad @ Silver Bandage with silver. Equivalent concentrations of silver are released in the predicate device and new device. Biocompatibility assessment was performed on the bandage to include patient skin contact surface (tape) and the fluid path contacting surface (the silver pad) with satisfactory results.

In Vitro testing showed that silver in the pad, of the prescription use Silver Bandages, reduced bacterial growth by over 99% (S. aureus, S. aureus(MRSA), E. coli, E. hirae and P. aeruginosa) for 24 hours contact time.

Both bandage products (Prescription and OTC) products are substantially equivalent in design and function to the Curad® Silver Bandage manufactured by Beiersdorf, Inc. The Curad® Silver Bandage was cleared by FDA under K032463.
