Indications for Use

For debriding non-healing necrotic skin and soft tissue wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, neuropathic foot ulcers, and non-healing traumatic or post surgical wounds.

Device Story

Medical Maggots consist of live larvae of the green bottle fly (Phaenicia sericata). Used for biosurgical debridement of necrotic tissue in non-healing wounds. Applied topically to the wound bed by a clinician; larvae secrete enzymes to liquefy necrotic tissue and ingest the debris, promoting wound cleaning. Benefits include removal of slough and necrotic material, potentially accelerating healing in chronic wounds.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided in the document.

Technological Characteristics

Biological device consisting of live Phaenicia sericata larvae. No mechanical or electronic components. No software or algorithms.

Indications for Use

Indicated for debridement of non-healing necrotic skin and soft tissue wounds, including pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, neuropathic foot ulcers, and non-healing traumatic or post-surgical wounds.
