Indications for Use
VersaWrap is indicated for the management and protection of tendon injuries in which there has been no substantial loss of tendon tissue. The device may also be used in the management and protection of surrounding tissues such as skeletal muscle and ligaments. In these procedures, VersaWrap may encounter a variety of implanted structures such as anchors, grafts, staples, and sutures.
Device Story
VersaWrap is an absorbable surgical implant designed to provide a non-constricting, protective encasement for injured tendons, skeletal muscle, and ligaments. The device consists of a clear hydrogel sheet (alginate and hyaluronic acid) and an aqueous citrate wetting solution. During surgery, the clinician applies the solution to the sheet to create a tissue-adherent gel, which is then placed under, around, or over the target tissue. The device is intended to interface with surrounding tissues and implanted structures (anchors, grafts, staples, sutures) to facilitate management and protection. It is supplied sterile for single-use. The device does not alter the surgical procedure but provides a physical barrier to protect the injury site.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing was required. Substantial equivalence is supported by prior non-clinical and animal testing previously conducted for the device.
Technological Characteristics
Absorbable implant consisting of an alginate and hyaluronic acid hydrogel sheet and an aqueous citrate wetting solution. Supplied sterile, non-pyrogenic, for single use in double peel pouches. Mechanical barrier/encasement function.
Indications for Use
Indicated for management and protection of tendon injuries without substantial tissue loss; also for management and protection of surrounding tissues including skeletal muscle and ligaments. Applicable for procedures involving implanted structures like anchors, grafts, staples, and sutures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Surgical mesh is a metallic or polymeric screen intended to be implanted to reinforce soft tissue or bone where weakness exists. Examples of surgical mesh are metallic and polymeric mesh for hernia repair, and acetabular and cement restrictor mesh used during orthopedic surgery.

Dear Dr. Mayes:
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 (the 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 available 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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review. the OS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 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 Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
