About the Devices for general and specialist dressings category
This category collects the dressings and wound-care products used across general and specialist treatment — gauze, plasters and bandages, advanced wound dressings, and the materials for managing chronic, surgical and burn wounds. Classification scales with wound severity under MDR Rule 4: a simple covering for an intact or superficial wound may be Class I, while a dressing intended for severe or chronic wounds can reach IIb. Volumes are very high, and the field spans both commodity products and high-value advanced wound care.
Common questions
What products are grouped under EMDN category M?
Category M covers wound dressings of all kinds — gauze, plasters, bandages, foam and hydrocolloid dressings, and specialist materials for chronic ulcers, surgical wounds and burns.
Does a wound dressing’s risk class depend on the wound it treats?
Yes. Under MDR Rule 4 a dressing for a superficial wound is typically Class I, whereas one indicated for breached dermis, chronic wounds or burns is classified higher — Class IIa or IIb — because of the greater clinical risk involved.
