BCT Antimicrobial Dressing and BCT Silver Bandage are sterile, single-use wound dressings; composed of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) non-woven, silver-coated activated carbon fiber cloth, and polyethylene (PE) film; BCT Silver Bandage includes an adhesive layer. Device functions by absorbing wound fluid and exudates containing infectious organisms into the fabric; silver ions (100 µg/cm²) exert local antimicrobial action to eliminate bacteria and pathogens; activated carbon fiber absorbs bacterial toxins and offensive odors. Applied topically by healthcare providers in clinical settings; provides antimicrobial barrier; aids in wound management. Benefits include infection reduction and odor control.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing and biocompatibility assessment. Antimicrobial efficacy demonstrated via AATCC Test Method 100-2004, showing >4 log reduction in microbial population. Biocompatibility testing performed in accordance with ISO 10993.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PET non-woven, silver-coated activated carbon fiber, PE film, adhesive (bandage only). Silver content: 100 µg/cm². Principle: Passive absorption of exudate and toxins; silver ion antimicrobial release. Form factor: Various sizes. Sterilization: Sterile, single-use. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for management of partial and full thickness wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, and acute wounds (1st and 2nd degree burns) in patients requiring topical wound care and an antimicrobial barrier.

#### 6. Device Description
BCT Antimicrobial Dressing consists of polyethylene terphthalate (PET) non-woven, silver-coated activated carbon fiber cloth and polyethylene (PE) film. BCT Silver Bandage contains the same ingredients, but includes an adhesive layer. The dressings and bandages contain 100 µg/cm² of silver and are available in several sizes to accommodate different wound sizes.
BCT Antimicrobial Dressing and BCT Silver Bandage absorbs wound fluid and exudates containing infectious organisms into the dressing fabric, where the silver exerts its antimicrobial action. The silver ions act locally within the dressing, eliminating the absorbed bacteria and pathogens.
The activated carbon fiber cloth in BCT Dressings absorbs bacterial toxins and offensive odors.
The dressings are individually packaged in a pouch. All dressings are sterile and are for single use only.
#### 7. Indication for Use Statement
The BCT Antimicrobial Dressing & BCT Silver Bandage dressings are intended for the management of wounds and to provide an antimicrobial barrier. These dressings are applied topically and are in direct contact with the wound. Both are intended to be used for indications such as:
- Partial and full thickness wounds;
- · Pressure ulcers;
- . Diabetic ulcers;
- . Surgical wounds;
- Acute wounds (1st and 2nd degree burns) .
#### 8. Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The BCT Antimicrobial Dressing & BCT Silver Bandage have similar indications for use and technological characteristics as Johnson's ACTISORB Silver 220. Both dressings and bandage are manufactured with non-absorbable polymer materials and an activated carbon fiber layer and are available in a similar range of sizes. The biocompatibility testing showed comparable safety profile of the BCT Antimicrobial Dressing & BCT Silver Bandage and the predicate Bench testing demonstrated that the devices are substantially equivalent for the management of wounds and to provide an antimicrobial barrier. See Table 5A for a comparison of characteristics.
