AVITA Medical Announces FDA Approval of RECELL GO

 

VALENCIA, Calif., May 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AVITA Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCEL, ASX: AVH), a commercial-stage regenerative medicine company focused on first-in-class devices for wound care management and skin restoration, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its premarket approval (PMA) supplement for the RECELL GO™ System, its next-generation autologous cell harvesting device that harnesses the regenerative properties of a patient’s own skin to treat thermal burn wounds and full-thickness skin defects.

 

When choosing RECELL, clinicians and patients can realize several significant advantages over traditional skin grafting:

 

 

RECELL GO introduces enhanced features that streamline the preparation of Spray-On Skin™ Cells. This next-generation device significantly reduces the training burden on medical staff, improves workflow efficiency in the operating room, and controls the RECELL Enzyme™ incubation time to ensure optimal cell yield and viability. These advancements simplify the user interface, enabling medical teams to provide quality care readily and consistently to their patients.

 

"FDA approval of RECELL GO marks a paradigm shift in the treatment of partial-thickness and full-thickness wounds,” said Jim Corbett, Chief Executive Officer of AVITA Medical. “By streamlining processes and enhancing operational efficiency with the use of RECELL GO, clinicians can now treat a greater number of patients and more broadly experience the proven benefits of RECELL technology. We believe that this transformative shift will empower more clinicians to achieve optimal outcomes for their patients, driving greater adoption, and fundamentally redefining wound care management. It's GO time for a new era in wound care."

 

In the United States, the Company will launch RECELL GO in its top burn treatment centers in June, and other existing accounts will be converted to RECELL GO throughout the year. New accounts will receive RECELL GO with their first order, eliminating the need for conversion.

 

The supplement follows the original PMA of RECELL Autologous Cell Harvesting Device and subsequent PMA supplements.
