The predicate device(s) are cleared for access to internal spaces and for soft tissue retraction. Orthopaedic procedures fall in the latter category. ## Device Story Wound retractor; cylindrical flexible polymer film sheath with semi-rigid polymer ring at each end. Device inserted into incision; inner ring placed inside body cavity; outer ring remains outside. Rolling outer ring toward inner ring shortens retractor; anchors device; retracts wound; converts incision into round opening. Flexible membrane protects incised tissue. Used in open orthopaedic procedures to provide unimpeded access to internal spaces while protecting wound. Operated by surgeons. Sturdier sheath material accommodates orthopaedic instruments; some models feature asymmetric ring diameters. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data. Testing included wound retraction capability, resistance to tearing during instrument exchanges, durability (cycling test), and maximum allowable incision size. ## Technological Characteristics Sterile, single-use, flexible polymer membrane cylinder with semi-rigid polymer rings. Mechanical retraction via rolling outer ring. Sturdier sheath material compared to predicate. Asymmetric ring diameters available on some models. ## Regulatory Identification A surgical drape and drape accessories is a device made of natural or synthetic materials intended to be used as a protective patient covering, such as to isolate a site of surgical incision from microbial and other contamination. The device includes a plastic wound protector that may adhere to the skin around a surgical incision or be placed in a wound to cover its exposed edges, and a latex drape with a self-retaining finger cot that is intended to allow repeated insertion of the surgeon's finger into the rectum during performance of a transurethral prostatectomy. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an ear, nose, and throat surgical drape, a latex sheet drape with self-retaining finger cot, a disposable urological drape, a Kelly pad, an ophthalmic patient drape, an ophthalmic microscope drape, an internal drape retention ring (wound protector), or a surgical drape that does not include an antimicrobial agent, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 878.9. ## Predicate Devices - Applied Medical Alexis Wound Retractor ([K062907](/device/K062907.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

APPLIED's wound retractors consist of a cylindrical flexible film sheath that has a semi-rigid polymer ring on each end. Retractors of this design are useful in open orthopaedic procedures that require unimpeded access while simultaneously protecting the wound. INTENDED USE: Orthopaedic wound retractors are sterile, single-use devices that are intended to access the musculoskeletal system through an atraumatically retracted wound. The predicate device(s) are cleared for access to internal spaces and for soft tissue retraction. Orthopaedic procedures fall in the latter category. SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: The predicate and subject wound retractors share a common construction. Each consists of a flexible polymer membrane formed into the shape of a cylinder. Attached to each open end of the cylinder are two semi-rigid polymer rings. One ring is positioned inside a body cavity while the other remains outside the patient. Rolling down the outer ring towards the inner ring shortens the retractor and anchors the device in the patient. It also retracts the wound and converts the incision into a round opening. The flexible membrane that connects the rings protects the incised tissue throughout the procedure. {1}------------------------------------------------ 100120 Page 2 of (2) The subject device is essentially equivalent to the predicate except that the sheath material is, sturdier to accommodate orthopaedic instruments. Further, whereas the diameters of the inner and outer rings of the predicate retractors are identical, some models of the orthopaedic retractor will feature an one ring smaller than the other. DISCUSSION OF NONCLINICAL TESTS SUBMITTED: There are no recognized standards that specify performance of wound retractors of this type. For that reason, APPLIED created test protocols specifically designed to confirm safety and efficacy of the subject device relative to the predicate device of K062907. These tests include the device's: - Ability to retract a wound . - . Resistance to tearing during instrument exchanges - Durability (cycling test) . - - Maximum allowable incision size . These tests were performed on predicate and subject device and established substantial equivalence between the two. CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM TESTING: APPLIED's functional and performance testing has demonstrated that the subject device is substantially equivalent or superior to its predicate device and introduces no new safety and effectiveness issues when used as instructed. {2}------------------------------------------------ ## DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a seal for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
