FDA clears Solventum’s combo wound care platform following Acera acquisition

Solventum (NYSE: SOLV) has acquired an FDA clearance for a new combination of two of its active wound care approaches, which the company said will help streamline the healing process.

The first piece involves the Restrata resorbable fiber matrix that Solventum acquired late last year through its $900 million purchase of Acera Surgical. Restrata’s synthetic, electrospun material supports soft tissue formation without the use of growth factors, by acting structurally similar to a human extracellular matrix.

Solventum will now pair Restrata with its V.A.C. negative pressure wound therapy, to help create a local environment that further promotes wound healing and maintains close contact between the fiber matrix and the wound bed.
