Surgical device spin-out Prescient Surgical said today it won FDA clearance for its CleanCision wound retraction and protection system.
The San Carlos, Calif.-based company, which was spun out of the Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign in 2012, said its CleanCision device is the 1st in a new category of irrigating wound protection devices, as classified by the FDA.
Such devices are designed to provide access to the surgical site while protecting the incision with an impermeable barrier to defend against direct contamination.
