Intended Use
PELNAC® Meshed Bilayer Wound Matrix is indicated 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 wounds (abrasions, lacerations, partial thickness burns, and skin tears), and draining wounds. The device may be used in conjunction with negative pressure wound therapy. The device is intended for one-time use.
Device Story
Collagen-based wound matrix; consists of porcine-derived collagen sponge layer and silicone film layer. Features slits in both layers to facilitate exudate drainage. Applied by qualified physicians in professional settings to full-thickness skin defects. Acts as scaffold for cellular invasion and capillary growth; remodeled by patient's cells over time. Provided as sterile sheet. Used in conjunction with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to manage complex wounds. Benefits patient by providing structural support for tissue regeneration.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance testing included pore size, cross-linking degree, water vapor transmission, drapeability, heavy metal content, suture retention, and tensile strength. Compatibility with InfoV.A.C. NPWT system validated via simulated wound model testing (pressure stability, fluid removal, alarm function). Biocompatibility and viral inactivation testing performed per ISO 10993-1 and FDA guidance.
Technological Characteristics
Bilayer sheet: top layer silicone film, bottom layer porcine-derived collagen sponge. Meshed/fenestrated structure. Sterilized via ethylene oxide (SAL 10^-6). Shelf life 36 months.

Dear Stuart Goldman:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
{1}------------------------------------------------
801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4.

#### 7. Device Description
PELNAC® Meshed Bilayer Wound Matrix is a collagen-based wound matrix that consists of two layers: a porcine derived sponge layer and a silicone film layer. Slits are added to the silicone and collagen layers to aid in the drainage of exudate. When applied to full-thickness skin defects, PELNAC® provides a scaffold for cellular invasion and capillary growth. The device is offered in sheet form of various sizes and is provided terminally sterilized by ethylene oxide, is for single patient use, and can only be applied to a patient by a qualified doctor in a professional setting for the management of full-thickness skin defects as described in its product labeling.
#### 8. Substantial Equivalence Discussion
PELNAC® Meshed Bilayer Wound Matrix has the same intended use and indications for use as the predicate device INTEGRA™ Meshed Bilayer Wound Matrix (K081635). The subject and predicate device employ the same mode of action in that both devices contain a wound matrix of porous sponge-like material of animal derived collagen that serves as a scaffold for cellular invasion and capillary growth.
Table 5-1 compares PELNAC® Meshed Bilayer Wound Matrix to the predicate device with respect to their indications for use and technological characteristics and provides detailed information regarding the basis for the determination of substantial equivalence between the subject and predicate device. Similar and relevant information on the reference device are also included in Table 5-1.
