The Acell UBM Lyophilized Wound Dressing was cleared through the FDA 510k pathway on December 19, 2002. Manufactured by Acell, it is classified under product code KGN.
What It Is
The Acell UBM Lyophilized Wound Dressing is a biologic dressing derived from porcine urinary bladder matrix. It provides a scaffold that supports cellular ingrowth and tissue remodeling, facilitating the body's natural healing process. This device is lyophilized, meaning it is freeze-dried to preserve its structure and function until it is rehydrated for use.
Clinical Applications
This wound dressing is commonly used in the management of chronic and acute wounds, including pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and surgical wounds. It is utilized in various healthcare settings such as hospitals, outpatient clinics, and specialized wound care centers. The device is suitable for use in a wide range of patient populations, including those with compromised healing abilities.
Indications for Use
The FDA indications suggest that this device is intended for use in patients with wounds that require a biologic scaffold to support healing. It is particularly beneficial for wounds that are difficult to heal through conventional methods.
Practical Considerations
The dressing is available in various sizes to accommodate different wound dimensions. It is important to ensure proper hydration before application to maximize its effectiveness. Compatibility with other wound care products should be considered to optimize patient outcomes.
