A moist wound environment is also supportive of the healing process             by aiding autolytic debridement. PuriCore Wound Hydrogel Spray Dressing contains 0.050%             Hypochlorous Acid that inhibits contamination within the hydrogel. The product is sprayable to aid /             ease the application of the product. The device is presented as both a prescription product (that             requires the physician to diagnose the disease state and prescribe the product) and for Over-The-             Counter use.<br><br>The device is offered in a 4.0oz bottle with a manual spray pump configuration.

The<br>hydrogel barrier manages pain and itch by protecting the wound from contamination and irritation<br>• The Intended Use Statement utilizes the same indications as previously cleared under these<br>predicate devices.<br>The closure system for this product is substantially equivalent to the predicates as it is packaged in a<br>PET bottle and a Polypropylene spray cap.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
