DEVICE Name of Device: Geistlich Derma-Gide™ Common Name: Collagen Wound Dressing Classification Regulation/Class: unclassified Product Code: KGN Panel: General and Plastic Surgery #### PREDICATE DEVICE 3. Predicate Device: Geistlich Wound Matrix (subsequently renamed to Geistlich Derma-Gide™) (K171842) #### DEVICE DESCRIPTION 4. Geistlich Derma-Gide™ is an acellular advanced wound care device. The Geistlich Derma-Gide™ is derived from porcine tissue (mostly collagen Type 1) and is processed using proprietary technologies to remove bacteria and inactivate viruses. Geistlich Derma-Gide"" features a bilayer structure. The upper dense compact collagen layer protects the wound and the open healing process. This structure has a smooth texture with appropriate pull out strength properties to allow suturing. The second lower layer consists of a thick, porous spongeous collagen scaffold. The sizes cleared under K171842 include: - Rectangular: 1.5 x 2.0 cm; 2.0 x 3.0 cm; and 3.0 x 4.0 cm; the thickness ranges from ● 2.5-5 mm {4}------------------------------------------------ The new sizes in this Special 510(k) include: - Rectangular: 1.0 x 1.5 cm; 2.0 x 2.0 cm; 2.0 x 4.0 cm; the thickness ranges from 2.5-5 ● mm - Round (disk) shape: 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24 mm diameters; the thickness . ranges from 2.5-5 mm. Fixation by sutures is possible. The device can be trimmed as needed. The device is terminally sterilized (by gamma irradiation) in its packaging. The device is intended to be used by licensed surgeons and will be supplied sterile for single use. #### INDICATION FOR USE ട്. The Geistlich Derma-Gide™ is intended for the management of wounds including: - partial and full thickness wounds ● - pressure ulcers - venous ulcers ● - diabetic ulcers - chronic vascular ulcers - surgical wounds (donor sites/grafts, post Moh's surgery, post laser surgery, podiatric, wound dehiscence) - trauma skin wounds (abrasions, laceration, second degree burns, skin tears) ● #### COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS 6. The subject Geistlich Derma-Gide™ has the same technological characteristics as the predicate Geistlich Wound Matrix (K171842). They have the same thickness (2.5-5 mm), source material, manufacturing, sterilization, and packaging. The only difference is that 3 additional rectangular sizes and 8 round (disk) sizes are being added to the sizes cleared under K171842. Fixation by sutures is possible for all sizes. All devices can be trimmed as needed. All of the new sizes are smaller than the 3.0 x 4.0 cm device size cleared under K171842. However, the new range of sizes or the additional round-shaped sizes do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness based on the intended use of the devices. The additional sizes and shapes are for user convenience and minimizing waste. Table 1 provides a summary comparison between the subject and predicate devices. {5}------------------------------------------------ | | Subject Device | Predicate Device | |-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 510(k) Number | TBD | K171842 | | Applicant | Geistlich Pharma AG | Geistlich Pharma AG | | Device Name | Geistlich Derma-Gide | Geistlich Wound Matrix (tradename

PERFORMANCE DATA Because there is no change to the device thickness, source material, manufacturing, sterilization, or packaging compared to the predicate K171842, the existing biocompatibility, sterilization, and shelf life information from K171842 fully applies. New performance testing was not necessary to support the additional sizes/shapes or the updates to the IFU. #### CONCLUSIONS 8. The subject Geistlich Derma-Gide™ is identical in indications to the predicate K171842. The design changes involve 3 additional rectangular sizes and 8 new round (disk) shaped versions of the device. The additional design configurations are intended to simply provide ready-to-use shapes which require less trimming to the wound size to reduce waste. Overall, the convenience for the user is improved. The new design configurations raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness. There are no changes in product thickness, source material, manufacturing, sterilization, or packaging. None of the changes to the IFU raise a new question of safety and effectiveness. Accordingly, the Geistlich Derma-Gide™ is substantially equivalent to the predicate Geistlich Wound Matrix cleared under K171842. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/device/K182838](https://fda.innolitics.com/device/K182838) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
