FDA Product Code KGN: Wound Dressing With Animal-derived Material(s)

Biologically derived wound care materials leverage the regenerative properties of natural extracellular matrix. FDA product code KGN covers wound dressings containing animal-derived materials — such as collagen, chitosan, or decellularized tissue matrices.

These dressings provide a biologically active scaffold that promotes cellular migration, granulation tissue formation, and wound closure. They are used in chronic wounds, burns, and surgical defects where conventional dressings are insufficient.

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