## Device Story

Sterile, absorptive, adhesive, conformable wound dressing; two-layer construction. Wound contact surface: porous adhesive for application. Second layer: microporous polyurethane membrane; absorbs/stores exudate; moisture vapor permeable; maintains moist environment; impermeable to microorganisms/liquids. Used in clinical/home settings for wound management; applied by clinicians or patients. Provides moist healing environment; protects wound from external contaminants; manages exudate; promotes optimal repair.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; laboratory tests demonstrate device is nontoxic, nonirritating, and nonsensitizing.

## Technological Characteristics

Two-layer construction; wound contact surface is porous adhesive; outer layer is microporous polyurethane membrane. Moisture vapor permeable; impermeable to microorganisms and liquids. Sterile.

## Description:

SPYROFLEX Pigmented Wound Dressings are sterile, absorptive dressings.

SPYROFLEX combines the moist wound environment properties of film dressings with the absorptive qualities of traditional therapies in a structure which is both adhesive and conformable.

SPYROFLEX dressings are constructed of two layers, each specifically engineered to give SPYROFLEX its unique blend of “ease of use” features while providing a microenvironment conducive to moist wound healing.

The wound contact surface of SPYROFLEX is a porous adhesive which facilitates ease of application to the wound site. A second layer consisting of a microporous polyurethane membrane absorbs and acts as a reservoir for wound exudate. This layer is also moisture vapor permeable which facilitates the reduction of exudate while maintaining a moist environment to promote optimal wound repair. SPYROFLEX is impermeable to microorganisms and liquids.

SPYROFLEX Pigmented Wound Dressings are intended for use in the management of:

|  Venous stasis ulcers | Partial-thickness wounds  |
| --- | --- |
|  Diabetic ulcers | Superficial burns  |
|  Pressure sores | Abrasions and lacerations  |
|  Donor sites | Full-thickness wounds  |
|  Blisters | Skin tears  |
|  Incisions | Dermal lesions  |
|  Severe sunburn | Minor chemical burns  |
|  Poison Ivy | Thermal burns  |
|  Dermabrasions and other dermatologic procedures  |   |
|  Facelifts and other plastic surgery procedures (e.g. laser resurfacing)  |   |

SPYROFLEX Pigmented Wound Dressings are substantially equivalent to SPYROFLEX Wound Dressings, Wet-Stick, SPYROFLEX Wound Dressings, and Flexzan Topical Wound Dressings. These devices are all self-adhesive wound dressings which provide a degree of absorption and breathability. They are all intended for use in the management of a wide variety of dermal lesions and injuries.

SPYROFLEX Pigmented Wound Dressings have been shown in laboratory tests to be nontoxic, nonirritating, and nonsensitizing.
