Intended Use
BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive is intended for topical use only, to hold together the skin edges of incisions and lacerations that are under minimal tension and easily approximated. Where significant tension exists on incisions or lacerations, BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive should be used in conjunction with deep dermal stiches.
Device Description
BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive is a sterile, liquid topical skin closure device composed of a methylidene malonate monomer formulation and the colorant D&C Green #6. It is provided in a single-use applicator, packaged in a foil pouch. The applicator is comprised of a crushable glass ampoule contained within a plastic vial with attached applicator tip and handle. BondEase® is applied to the skin as a viscous liquid which polymerizes to bond approximated wound edges within minutes. In vitro studies have shown that BondEase® acts as a bacterial barrier as long as the adhesive film remains intact.

No.
The device is a topical skin adhesive intended to hold together the edges of incisions and lacerations, which is a skin closure device, not a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as a "skin closure device" that bonds wound edges. Its intended use is to hold together skin edges, not to diagnose any condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile, liquid topical skin closure device composed of a chemical formulation and provided in a single-use applicator, which are physical components, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to hold together skin edges of incisions and lacerations. This is a direct application to the body for a physical purpose (wound closure).
  • Device Description: The device is a liquid topical skin closure device that polymerizes on the skin. This describes a physical material applied externally.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (on the body) for a therapeutic purpose (wound closure).

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Nonclinical Performance Data:

  • Performance Bench Testing: Included various tests of adhesive strength and tests for degradation rate, heat of polymerization, and bacterial barrier performance. BondEase® met all performance requirements.
  • Biocompatibility Testing: Conducted per ISO 10993 guidelines. Results showed BondEase® to be non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, non-pyrogenic, with no toxicological affect 30 days post implantation. It was also found to be nonhemolytic and non-genotoxic. Tests included: Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation, Systemic Toxicity - Acute, Systemic & Material Mediated Pyrogen, Implantation and Subchronic Toxicity, Genotoxicity - Ames, Mouse Lymphoma & Mouse Micronucleus, Hemolysis - Extract & Direct Contact, Endotoxicity.
  • Porcine Study: Demonstrated that BondEase® did not inhibit normal wound closure and healing, and supported its use for the approximation of skin without subcutaneous sutures on small, tensionless incisions. BondEase® demonstrated substantial equivalence to DERMABOND®, used as a control.

Clinical Performance Data:

  • Study Type: A prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label study.
  • Objective: To evaluate the ability of BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive to close approximated skin edges of traumatic lacerations and surgical incisions in comparison to Conventional Wound Closure Devices (CWCD) including sutures, staples, or adhesive strips, with or without sutures placed below the skin surface. The study was designed to demonstrate that BondEase is non-inferior to conventional wound closure devices (CWCD) in terms of 100% wound edge apposition of surgical incisions and traumatic lacerations.
  • Sample Size: A total of 162 subjects were randomized (108 to BondEase, 54 to CWCD). The Intent-to-treat population (ITT) was 159 (105 BondEase, 54 CWCD). The Per protocol population (PP) was 153 (100 BondEase, 53 CWCD). The sample size was calculated based on the assumption of 95% wound apposition rate with BondEase compared to 96% with CWCD, providing 80% statistical power to demonstrate equivalence with a 10% margin and a one-sided Type I error rate of 0.05.
  • Key Results:
    • Adverse Events: No deaths, no treatment-related serious adverse events, device-related complications or infections. No events of wound dehiscence requiring supplemental closure. All device-related adverse events were mild. Signs of inflammation at the wound site were comparable between treatment groups.
    • Efficacy Assessment (100% Wound Apposition at 10 Days):
      • Per protocol population: BondEase 77.1% (74/96), CWCD 80.4% (41/51). Difference (BondEase-CWCD): -0.03. 95% CI: -0.13 to 0.11. The lower bound of the 95% confidence interval (-0.13) was very close to the pre-specified noninferiority margin of -0.1.
      • Intent-to-treat population: BondEase 73.3% (77/105), CWCD 77.8% (42/54). Difference (BondEase-CWCD): -0.04. 95% CI: -0.13 to 0.10.
    • Secondary Endpoints (ITT Population):
      • 50% wound apposition at 10 days: BondEase 93.3% (98/105), CWCD 96.3% (52/54).

      • Optimal cosmesis at 28 days (score of 6): BondEase 70.5% (74/105), CWCD 64.8% (35/54).
      • Cosmesis at 28 days (all scores): Mean/median for BondEase 5.7 / 6.0, for CWCD 5.6 / 6.0.
    • No significant differences were found between treatment groups for secondary endpoints or 100% wound apposition by subgroup (deep dermal sutures used, wound type).

Device Description

BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive is a sterile, liquid topical skin closure device composed of a methylidene malonate monomer formulation and the colorant D&C Green #6. It is provided in a single-use applicator, packaged in a foil pouch. The applicator is comprised of a crushable glass ampoule contained within a plastic vial with attached applicator tip and handle.

BondEase® is applied to the skin as a viscous liquid which polymerizes to bond approximated wound edges within minutes. In vitro studies have shown that BondEase® acts as a bacterial barrier as long as the adhesive film remains intact.

Indications for Use

BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive is intended for topical use only, to hold together the skin edges of incisions and lacerations that are under minimal tension and easily approximated. Where significant tension exists on incisions or lacerations. BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive should be used in conjunction with deep dermal stiches.

Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicates

The technological characteristics of BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive are similar to those of the predicate devices in that they use similar polymerization mechanisms and have similar monomer structures. The predicate devices are cyanoacrylate formulations while BondEase® is formulated from methylidene malonate. For all products, the adhesives polymerize after being applied to the skin. BondEase® and the predicate devices are supplied in a dispensing applicator and are applied to the wound in a continuous film binding the approximated wound edges together. BondEase® and the predicate devices are supplied sterile and are for single use. As with the other topical skin adhesives. BondEase® is designed to bond approximated wound edges to provide flexible wound closure and provide a bacterial barrier as long as the adhesive remains intact. BondEase® and the predicate devices have substantially equivalent indications for use and mechanism of action.

Nonclinical Performance Data

BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive was evaluated in accordance with FDA's Guidance for Industry: Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Tissue Adhesive for Topical Approximation of Skin.

Performance Bench Testing included various tests of adhesive strength and tests for degradation rate, heat of polymerization, and bacterial barrier performance. In these studies, BondEase® met all performance requirements.

Biocompatibility Testing was conducted per ISO 10993 guidelines and test results showed BondEase® to be non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, non-pyrogenic, with no toxicological affect 30 days post implantation. BondEase® was also found to be nonhemolytic and non-genotoxic. The full list of biocompatibility tests follows.

Cytotoxicity Sensitization Irritation Systemic Toxicity - Acute Systemic & Material Mediated Pyrogen Implantation and Subchronic Toxicity Genotoxicity - Ames, Mouse Lymphoma & Mouse Micronucleus Hemolysis - Extract & Direct Contact Endotoxicity

In a porcine study conducted, results demonstrated that BondEase® did not inhibit normal wound closure and healing, and support that BondEase® may be used for the approximation of skin without the use of subcutaneous sutures on small, tensionless incisions. BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive has demonstrated substantial equivalence to DERMABOND®, which was used as a control.

Clinical Performance Data

A prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label study was conducted to evaluate the ability of BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive to close approximated skin edges of traumatic lacerations and surgical incisions in comparison to Conventional Wound Closure Devices (CWCD) including sutures, staples, or adhesive strips, with or without sutures placed below the skin surface according to investigator judgment. The study was designed to demonstrate that BondEase is non-inferior to conventional wound closure devices (CWCD) in terms of 100% wound edge apposition of surgical incisions and traumatic lacerations.

The study population included patients at least one year of age, in good general health. Patients were excluded if presenting with: significant multiple trauma, peripheral vascular disease, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, blood clotting disorder, keloid formation or hypertrophy history (patient or family), allergy to the adhesive, burst or stellate lacerations, animal or human bite. HIV, decubitus ulcer, heavily contaminated wounds and evidence of active infection or gangrene. Wound length and width were measured in millimeters; wound depth was not measured according to the study protocol. Types of wounds included traumatic lacerations and surgical incisions with and without deep dermal sutures. The study sample size was calculated based on the assumption of 95% wound apposition rate with BondEase compared to 96% wound apposition rate with CWCD. Based on this assumption, a total of 144 subjects would provide 80% statistical power to demonstrate equivalence with a clinically acceptable 10% margin and a onesided Type I error rate of 0.05. Table 1 summarizes the subject accountability and Table 2 summarizes the demographic characteristics and baseline wound types. The following

Adverse events with BondEase were of the same type as seen with other tissue adhesives. In the clinical study, both treatments appeared to be well-tolerated. There were no deaths, no treatment-related serious adverse events, device-related complications or infections. There were no events of wound dehiscence requiring supplemental closure. All device-related adverse events were mild and appeared to have no impact on the cosmesis outcome. Signs of inflammation at the wound site were comparable between treatment groups. Table 3 summarizes these results.
