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.
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.
This document describes the BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive and presents data to support its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. Here's a breakdown of the requested information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for the primary endpoint were established around demonstrating non-inferiority to conventional wound closure devices (CWCD) with a 10% margin.
| Acceptance Criteria (Non-inferiority margin) | Reported Device Performance (100% wound apposition at 10 days) - BondEase - CWCD (95% CI) |
|---|---|
| Lower bound of 95% CI for difference (BondEase-CWCD) > -0.1 (pre-specified non-inferiority margin) | Per protocol population: -0.13 (-0.13 to 0.11) Intent-to-treat population: -0.04 (-0.13 to 0.10) |
| Note: The lower bound of the 95% confidence interval for the per-protocol population (-0.13) did not 'reach' but was very close to the pre-specified non-inferiority margin of -0.1. |
Additional secondary endpoints and their performance are summarized below, though specific "acceptance criteria" for these were not explicitly stated as non-inferiority targets:
| Secondary Endpoint | BondEase Performance | CWCD Performance |
|---|---|---|
| > 50% wound apposition at 10 days | 93.3% (98/105) | 96.3% (52/54) |
| Optimal cosmesis at 28 days (score of 6) | 70.5% (74/105) | 64.8% (35/54) |
| Cosmesis at 28 days (all scores), mean / median | 5.7 / 6.0 | 5.6 / 6.0 |
| Device-related adverse reactions (Total AEs) | 14 | 6 |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size (Test Set):
- Randomized (Total): 162
- Randomized and treatment applied (Total): 159
- BondEase: 105 subjects
- CWCD: 54 subjects
- Intent-to-treat population (ITT): 159 subjects (BondEase: 105, CWCD: 54)
- Per protocol population (PP): 153 subjects (BondEase: 100, CWCD: 53)
- Data Provenance: Prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label study. The document does not specify the country of origin of the data, but it is an FDA submission for a US market.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
The ground truth for the clinical study was established by investigators and a blinded clinician.
- Wound Apposition: Determined by the "investigator." The qualifications of these investigators are not explicitly stated, but it's implied they are healthcare professionals treating the wounds.
- Cosmetic Outcome: Determined by a "blinded clinician." The qualifications of this clinician are not explicitly stated.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not explicitly describe an adjudication method for the test set. Outcomes (wound apposition and cosmetic outcome) were assessed by single parties (investigator for apposition, blinded clinician for cosmesis), rather than multiple experts with a defined adjudication process.
5. Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No, a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not conducted. The study compared the device against conventional wound closure methods (CWCD) with human application, but it did not assess the comparative effectiveness of human readers improving with or without AI assistance. The device itself is a topical adhesive; there is no AI component.
6. Standalone Performance
Yes, a standalone performance was done for various characteristics of the BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive, independent of human application in a clinical setting. This is detailed under "Nonclinical Performance Data":
- Performance Bench Testing: Included tests of adhesive strength, degradation rate, heat of polymerization, and bacterial barrier performance.
- Biocompatibility Testing: Conducted per ISO 10993 guidelines, showing the device to be non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, non-pyrogenic, with no toxicological effect, non-hemolytic, and non-genotoxic.
- Porcine Study: Demonstrated that BondEase® did not inhibit normal wound closure and healing.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- For Nonclinical Tests: Ground truth was based on laboratory measurements, validated standards (e.g., ISO 10993 guidelines for biocompatibility), and observations in animal models (porcine study).
- For Clinical Study:
- Wound apposition: Clinical assessment by the investigator.
- Cosmetic outcome: Clinical assessment by a blinded clinician using a validated scale (Hollander JE, et al, 1995).
- Adverse events: Clinically observed and reported events.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
No "training set" in the context of an AI/algorithm is mentioned since this is a topical skin adhesive product. The device itself does not employ an AI algorithm. The closest equivalent would be the data used for the development and bench testing of the adhesive formulation, or prior clinical experience informing the study design. However, the document does not provide a specific sample size for such a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As there is no AI algorithm and thus no explicit "training set" in the computational sense, this question is not applicable. The development and testing of the adhesive material itself relied on chemical and biological principles, and extensive non-clinical testing (bench and animal studies) as described under "Nonclinical Performance Data," where ground truth was established through validated test methods and established standards.

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.
{4}------------------------------------------------
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.
{5}------------------------------------------------
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
{6}------------------------------------------------
factors had no impact on the performance of BondEase® Topical Skin Adhesive in terms of 100% wound edge apposition at day 10: wound type, gender, age, or race, the need for deep dermal sutures, and the location of the wound.

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.
