FDA has cleared a Gel-e Inc. 510(k) for its adhesive bandage for prescription and over-the-counter use in managing moderately to heavily exuding chronic wounds and acute wounds. Under medical supervision, the bandage may be used for managing pressure sores, diabetic ulcers, leg ulcers, donor sites and graft sites, surgical wounds, skin abrasions and lacerations, first- and second-degree burns and traumatic wounds, according to the company. The bandage is designed with Gel-e’s technology platform that “harnesses the natural characteristics of an abundant and inexpensive natural polysaccharide,” the company says.
