The CODI products do not have a different intended use or different technological characteristics than Johnson & Johnson’s Nu Gauze or Kendall’s Versalon. The CODI products are made of rayon and polyester fibers and will be sterilized by radiation or ethylene oxide methods. The finished products have a pattern similar to traditional cotton gauze, but they are softer and more absorbent. The CODI products also have minimal linting and wound adhesion compared to traditional cotton gauze. It is intended that the CODI products will be used as a dressing and for other general medical and dental purposes for which cotton gauze has traditionally been used.
