Dermal tissue reconstructive material, animal-derived

Definition

A sterile, bioabsorbable, animal-derived substance intended to be injected into the dermis/hypodermis of the skin, lip submucosa, and/or for supraperiosteal administration to add volume by serving as a space-occupying supplement to the intercellular matrix of connective tissue (dermal filler), to correct cutaneous contour deformities (e.g., scars) associated with aging, injury, or degenerative lesions; it may in addition be used as a bulking material for incontinence treatment (e.g., in the urinary tract). It does not include a local anaesthetic agent. It includes animal-derived collagen or hyaluronic acid (HA) [e.g., porcine, bovine]. It is typically preloaded in a disposable syringe.
