FDA Product Code FRO: Dressing, Wound, Drug

FDA product code FRO covers drug-eluting wound dressings that combine a wound contact layer with an active pharmaceutical ingredient.

These dressings deliver antimicrobial agents, growth factors, or analgesics directly to the wound bed while maintaining a moist healing environment. The drug component provides local therapeutic activity beyond the mechanical protection of a standard dressing.

FRO devices are reviewed by the FDA General & Plastic Surgery panel.
