BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TraumaCure Inc. – makers of the ground-breaking hemostatic agent, WoundStat™ – today announced that the company has received the prestigious international ISO 13485 certification for its quality system for design, development, production and sales of medical devices. The company received FDA clearance to sell WoundStat in August 2007
With ISO 13485 certification, TraumaCure meets global quality design and manufacturing requirements. ISO certification is a base-line requirement in many key markets for approval to sell a medical device and therefore supports TraumaCure’s plans to market WoundStat to nations around the world.
