Executive Summary
HydroCision has received US FDA 510(k) clearance for its rapid, fluidjet-based wound debridement system. TraumaJet can be used to remove contamination, such as dirt and grease, from a traumatic wound as well as dead or damaged tissue. The system creates its own suction at the site without the need for a connection to an external source and minimises the risk of spreading bacteria or contamination further into a wound said the Andover, Massachusetts-based company. The system will be marketed worldwide by Orthofix International.
