- chronic vascular ulcers
- tunnel/undermined wounds
- surgical wounds (donor sites/grafts, post Mohs surgery, post laser surgery, podiatric, wound dehiscence)
- trauma wounds (abrasions, lacerations, second-degree burns and skin tears) and draining wounds.
## VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
Device 104 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to intended use and technological characteristics. The intended use and indications for use are identical between the two devices. While there are minor differences in technological characteristics; however, these differences do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.
Both devices are made from porcine-derived collagen and appear as white to almost white particles. Collagen degradation rates and onset temperature are equivalent. Both devices are sterilized by irradiation and packaged in glass vials with rubber stoppers.
Device 104 Particulate has a lower pH (2.5–3.2) compared to the predicate (pH 7). However, this falls within the acceptable range established by precedent devices (e.g., K171645, K012990).
Cytotoxicity testing confirmed the lower pH does not adversely impact cell viability and extracts of Device 104 Particulate were found to be non-irritating after intracutaneous injection in rabbits in accordance to ISO 10993-23: 2021.
In an excisional wound healing model in pigs, no significant differences in healing were observed between Device 104 Particulate and the predicate device. Macroscopic and histopathological analysis confirmed that Device 104 Particulate did not cause adverse tissue effects, showed time-related degradation without foreign body reactions, and was non-irritant.
## VII. Safety and Performance Data
The following non-clinical tests were performed to support substantial equivalence:
- Characterization of chemical properties
- Collagen Degradation
- Onset Temperature by DSC
- Additional studies
- Scanning Electron Microscopy
- Sterilization Validation per ISO 11137-1:2006, ISO 11137-2:2013, and ISO 11137-3:2017
- Packaging Validation per ISO 11607-1:2019, ASTM F1980:2007, ASTM F1886/F1886M:2016, ASTM F88:2015, ASTM F1929:2015, and ASTM F2096:2011
- Product stability testing per ICH Q1A(R)
- Biocompatibility Studies per ISO 10993-1:2018
