K926353 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the FLOWGEL(R) TOPICAL WOUND DRESSING. Classified as Dressing, Wound And Burn, Hydrogel W/drug And/or Biologic (product code MGQ).

Submitted by Mediventures, Inc. (Dearborn, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on February 22, 1994 after a review of 428 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the General & Plastic Surgery FDA review panel. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind General & Plastic Surgery submissions.
