Intended Use
Dental Collagen Wound Dressings (NovaTape and NovaPlug) are intended for the management of oral wounds and sores, including: · Denture sores - · Oral Ulcers (non-infected or viral) - · Periodontal surgical wounds - · Suture sites - · Burns - · Extraction sites - · Surgical wounds - · Traumatic wounds
Device Story
Dental Collagen Wound Dressings (NovaTape and NovaPlug) are resorbable, cross-linked bovine collagen dressings; supplied as sterile, single-use tapes or plugs. Used in dental offices, clinics, or hospitals by clinicians to manage oral wounds. Device applied directly to wound site; absorbs local fluids to maintain moist environment; aids healing. Resorbs within approximately 14 days. Provides protective barrier for various oral lesions/wounds. Benefits patient by maintaining moist wound environment and protecting site during healing process.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing included SDS-PAGE, Circular Dichroism, DSC, collagenase digestion, absorption capacity, porosity, and cross-linking evaluation. Animal study (porcine oral model) compared NovaPlug to predicate; evaluated local reaction and material absorption. Results showed no statistically significant differences in histologic findings or implant site scores; both materials resorbed within 14 days. Biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993) confirmed safety.
Technological Characteristics
Resorbable, cross-linked bovine hide collagen. Supplied as sterile tapes or plugs. E-beam sterilized (SAL 10^-6). Flexible, compressible, non-load bearing. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for individuals requiring acute or short-term dressings for protection of oral wounds, including denture sores, non-infected or viral oral ulcers, periodontal surgical wounds, suture sites, burns, extraction sites, surgical wounds, and traumatic wounds.

#### Device Description:
Dental Collagen Wound Dressings are soft, white to off-white, resorbable collagen dressings produced from cross-linked, purified collagen derived from bovine hide. The thickness and pore structure of the device allow it to absorb fluids and blood at the defect site. Dental Collagen Wound Dressings are supplied sterile, non-pyrogenic, and are for single use only.
## Intended Use / Indications for Use
Dental Collagen Wound Dressings (NovaTape and NovaPlug) are intended for the management of oral wounds and sores, including:
- · Denture sores
- · Oral Ulcers (non-infected or viral)
- · Periodontal surgical wounds
- · Suture sites
- · Burns
- · Extraction sites
- · Surgical wounds
- Traumatic wounds
## Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence:
The proposed NovaTape / NovaPlug (NT/NP) Dental Collagen Dressings are substantially equivalent to the predicate Collagen Topical Wound Dressings – Oral (K040403). The predicate devices are marketed as under the name "ACE Resorbable Collagen Tape (RCT) & ACE Resorbable Collagen Plug (RCP)". The predicate and proposed devices have the same clinical indications for use.
#### Design / Mode of Action
The predicates (K040403) and proposed NT/NP dental collagen wound dressings are composed solely of collagen and both are provided in tape and plug formats. The dressings act to absorb moisture from the oral wound site, thereby maintaining a moist environment. The dressings resorb within approximately 14 days of implantation. Because the basic design technology and mode of action are similar between the proposed device, no new issues of safety or effectiveness are presented.

## Collagen Material Safety
The proposed NT/NP and predicate devices are comprised of collagen derived from animal sources. All collagen used for the production of NT/NP devices is obtained from a single source, from a geographical BSE Risk I, or GBR I country. The GBR I designation is the lowest risk rating, indicating the potential for one or more animals to infected with BSE agents as "Highly Unlikely". Whereas NT/NP and the predicate are both sourced from Geographical BSE Risk I collagen, no new issues of safety are presented by the type of bovine material utilized. It has been established that the manufacturing processes used for NT/NP have sufficient viral inactivation capacity.
Because of the safeguards established to mitigate BSE risk in the bovine herds and the viral inactivation capacity of the manufacturing steps, no new issues of safety are presented for the collagen used to manufacture NT/NP devices as compared to that of the predicate.
#### Biocompatibility
Like the predicate devices (K040403), the proposed NT/NP devices are intended to be permanent implants that resorb over time. Biocompatibility tests in accordance with ISO 10993 (cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, irritation, systemic toxicity (4-week), system toxicity (13week), endotoxin, and exotoxin) were conducted on the proposed NT/NP devices and the results did not raise any issues of biological safety for the device material.
#### Performance - Bench Testing
The following tests were conducted to evaluate the properties of the NT/NP device components: sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Circular Dichroism (CD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Collagenase Digestion, Absorption Capacity, Percent Porosity, EDC (and NHS Residuals, Extent of Cross-linking, and Sulfide Evaluation.
#### Performance - Animal Testing
The NovaPlug device was evaluated in a porcine (minipig) model to evaluate the local reaction and material absorption as compared to the predicate device (K040403). The study was conducted in compliance with applicable requirements in the GLP regulation (21 CFR Part 58). The NovaPlug results are considered representative of NovaTape since the collagen, crosslinking and manufacturing processes are equivalent and differ only in final casting, cutting and pressing.
Based on the similarity and frequency of the histologic findings, the mean group implant site scores, and the absence of statistically significant differences between treatments there was no difference in responses to the NovaPlug 510(k) subject device and the predicate (K040403) device. The resorption and reaction of the NovaPlug and predicate device materials were substantially equivalent and the 510(k) subject device material completely resorbed within approximately fourteen (14) days of implantation.

Based on the results of the oral minipig implantation study, the NovaTape/NovaPlug 510(k) subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate (K040403) when used as an oral wound dressing.
## Mechanical
NT/NP devices are not intended to be load bearing. Mechanical testing comparisons are therefore not relevant to a substantial equivalence determination.
#### How Supplied
The proposed NovaTape/NovaPlug (NT/NP) devices are supplied sterile, in a single-barrier packaging configuration similar to the predicate device (K040403).
The device is provided in two forms, thin rectangular sheets of two sizes, (25mm x 75mm x 1mm and 20mm x 40mm x 3mm) and small cylindrical plugs (10mm diameter x 20mm length). The materials and processing methods are similar between the two device forms, varying only in the compression and cutting process used to fabricate the tape forms.
The different device shapes are solely to aid in device placement as wound dressings. The devices are both flexible and compressible and may be cut or trimmed to meet the user's needs.
All the devices are terminally sterilized to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10°. NT/NP devices are sterilized via e-beam radiation whereas the predicate is sterilized by gamma irradiation. E-beam radiation is used for the NT/NP devices to preserve handling properties that may be modified by other forms of sterilization. Because the device packaging and sterility assurance level are equivalent, no new issues of safety of effectiveness are presented by the packaging and sterilization methods used for the proposed NT/NP devices. An initial shelf life of twelve (12) months is supported by real-time stability studies.
## Conclusion:
NovaTape and NovaPlug Dental Collagen Wound Dressings are similar to the predicate device (K040403), Collagen Topical Wound Dressing - Oral that was cleared for marketing by FDA on May 10, 2004 and marketed under as ACE Resorbable Collagen Tape (RCT) and Plug (RCP).
In vivo performance testing (porcine oral model) and biocompatibility testing were conducted on the 510(k) subject device. In the porcine oral model, the proposed device performed in an equivalent manner to the K040403 ACE predicate.
Therefore, the NovaPluq / NovaTape devices are substantially equivalent to the K040403, Collagen Topical Wound Dressing - Oral when used for the specified indications for use.
