ReliaTect™ may also be used to cover and secure a primary dressing. ReliaTect™ inhibits microbial growth within the dressing and prevents external contamination. ## Device Story Transparent adhesive wound dressing integrated with Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG); provides physical barrier against external contaminants and fluids; inhibits microbial growth within dressing via CHG release. Used in clinical settings to cover percutaneous device sites or secure primary dressings. Applied by healthcare providers. Benefits include protection of percutaneous sites and reduction of microbial colonization within the dressing material. ## Clinical Evidence No human clinical trials performed. Evidence consists of bench testing and an animal study. Bench testing confirmed fluid handling, moisture vapor transmission, adhesion, and antimicrobial effectiveness against various gram-positive/negative bacteria and yeast. Porcine study in Yucatan miniature swine evaluated wound healing impact on full-thickness incisional wounds, demonstrating performance equivalent to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Transparent adhesive film dressing containing Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) as an antimicrobial agent. Features include waterproof barrier, moisture vapor transmission, and fluid absorption capabilities. Device is non-sterile or sterile (implied by post-op use). No software or electronic components. ## Predicate Devices - Covalon SurgiClear™ ([K121819](/device/K121819.md)) ## Reference Devices - Avery Dennison Benehold CHG Transparent Film Dressing ([K113836](/device/K113836.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Device Description The ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing with CHG is a transparent adhesive dressing integrated with Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG), a well-known antiseptic agent with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. In vitro testing (barrier and log reduction) demonstrates the ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing with CHG provides an effective barrier against external contamination including fluids (waterproof) and a variety of gram-positive bacteria, gramnegative bacteria, and yeast within the dressing including: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis (VRE), Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, {4}------------------------------------------------ Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Candid albicans. Reduction in the colonization or microbial growth on the device has not been shown to correlate with a reduction in infections in patients. Clinical studies to evaluate reduction in infection have not been performed. # 5. Indications for Use The ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing with CHG is intended to cover and protect a wound caused by percutaneous medical devices such as drains, chest tubes, orthopedic pins, fixtures, and wires. ReliaTect™ may also be used to cover and secure a primary dressing. ReliaTect™ inhibits microbial growth within the dressing and prevents external contamination. ## 6. Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence The ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing with CHG is substantially equivalent to the commercially available Covalon SurgiClear™ device (K121819). Bench testing studies, including antimicrobial efficacy, demonstrate the two devices have comparable performance. The Intended Use of the ReliaTect™ is equivalent to the SurgiClear™ device. # 7. Performance Testing Performance testing was completed on various characteristics to ensure product requirements were satisfied as well as for comparison aqainst the predicate product. The acceptance criteria were met for all characteristics and comparison against the predicate demonstrated equivalent performance. Performance tests included: - . Fluid Handling Capacity - Static Absorption - . Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate - Peel Adhesion to Polyethylene . - . Liner Release - . Antimicrobial Effectiveness - Transparency ● - Peel Adhesion to Sutures . Antimicrobial effectiveness testing performed demonstrates that the presence of CHG within the dressing inhibits microbial growth within the dressing. {5}------------------------------------------------ # 8. Animal Study The ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing with CHG was subjected to a wound healing evaluation through a porcine study. The objective of this study was to evaluate the wound healing impact of the Post-Op dressing with an active antimicrobial agent on full thickness incisional wounds in Yucatan miniature swine. Results of the study demonstrate the ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing and the predicate device achieved equivalent performance. # 9. Conclusion The ReliaTect™ Post-Op Dressing with CHG is substantially equivalent to the Covalon SurgiClear™ device. Bench and Animal performance testing, including antimicrobial effectiveness, demonstrate the two devices are substantially equivalent for their intended use. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/device/K163529](https://fda.innolitics.com/device/K163529) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
