Regulatory leadership

The reviewer who certified the files now builds them.

Eclevar's regulatory leadership was built inside Notified Bodies. Dr Mark DaCosta, COO and former TÜV SÜD reviewer, sets the standard the whole team works to: clinical evidence designed exactly the way reviewers expect to read it. For tissue repair, that means wound, regenerative and aesthetic endpoints that translate biological effects into evidence a Notified Body can accept, from the first protocol version.

Our specialist areas

Three tissue categories, one specialist CRO.

Advanced wound care, regenerative medicine and aesthetics share one regulatory challenge: generating clinical evidence for tissue effects that are inherently complex, heterogeneous and difficult to standardise. Our clinical programmes are built for exactly that challenge.

Advanced Wound Care

Chronic wound and advanced wound management

PMCF programmes for the full advanced wound care portfolio: NPWT, bioengineered tissue substitutes, antimicrobial dressings and compression systems for diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), venous leg ulcer (VLU) and pressure injuries. EWMA collaboration for investigator access and REDIT registry integration.

NPWTBioengineered tissueDFUEWMA
Regenerative

PRP, cell therapy and tissue engineering

Clinical investigations and PMCF for autologous platelet concentration systems (PRP/PRF), cellular and acellular dermal matrices and growth factor carriers, with full ATMP borderline analysis for accurate classification under EU MDR. Endpoints capture biological mechanisms and tissue regeneration outcomes.

Advanced wound care programmes

EU MDR PMCF for complex wound management devices.

Chronic wounds are among the most clinically complex indication areas in EU MDR. Wound size, etiology, comorbidities and treatment variability create a heterogeneous evidence challenge that generic CRO survey programmes cannot solve. Our specialist team has designed dedicated PMCF frameworks for the specific evidence challenge of each wound category.

Regenerative medicine

PRP, cell therapy and regenerative tissue.

Regenerative medicine devices sit at the most complex intersection in EU MDR: between medical devices, biologics and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs). A platelet-rich plasma (PRP) system that concentrates autologous platelets and delivers growth factors to a wound bed is regulated as a medical device in most EU jurisdictions, yet its evidence requirements demand the biological mechanism data, dose-response characterisation and long-term safety follow-up expected of a pharmaceutical.

Eclevar has developed a dedicated regenerative medicine evidence framework that addresses this complexity directly. Our partnership with RegenLab, a leading PRP and cell therapy device company in Europe, has shaped a rigorous PMCF methodology for autologous PRP systems used in advanced wound care, musculoskeletal regeneration and aesthetic restoration.

ATMP borderline analysis

  • Case-by-case device versus ATMP classification.
  • Biological mechanism of action evidence design.
  • Dose-response and growth factor characterisation.
  • Long-term safety follow-up architecture.
PRP / PRFAcellular matrixATMP borderline
Aesthetic devices

Clinical evidence for aesthetic indications.

Aesthetic medical devices without a primary medical purpose face the strictest clinical evidence scrutiny under EU MDR Annex XVI. Eclevar designs PMCF programmes specifically for aesthetic endpoints, durability tracking and delayed adverse event surveillance.

Injectables and dermal fillers

  • Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers and biostimulators.
  • Polycaprolactone (PCL) collagen stimulators.
  • PRO framework: GAIS, FLI and FACE-Q implementation.
  • Durability tracking: 12, 24 and 36-month imaging protocols.

FAQ

Questions tissue repair sponsors ask us.

How do I choose a specialist wound care CRO in Europe?

Look for wound specific endpoint expertise (wound area reduction, PUSH Tool, TIME, wound specific quality of life), access to a wound investigator network such as EWMA, credible PMCF and registry design, and Notified Body insight on the team. Eclevar combines all four, with an EWMA collaboration model and a former Notified Body reviewer in the leadership team.

What does PMCF look like for advanced wound care devices?

PMCF for NPWT, bioengineered tissue, antimicrobial dressings and compression uses wound area reduction, time to closure by Kaplan-Meier, wound bed quality (PUSH Tool v3.0, TIME) and validated wound quality of life instruments, deployed through multi-site surveys and registry linkage such as REDIT.

How is a PRP system classified, medical device or ATMP?

An autologous platelet-rich plasma preparation system that concentrates platelets and delivers growth factors is regulated as a medical device in most EU jurisdictions, but the borderline with Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products must be assessed case by case. Eclevar provides full ATMP borderline analysis to confirm the classification before evidence generation.

What evidence do aesthetic devices need under EU MDR Annex XVI?

Aesthetic devices without a medical purpose face strict clinical evidence scrutiny under EU MDR Annex XVI. Eclevar designs PMCF programmes with validated aesthetic PROs (GAIS, FACE-Q, BODY-Q), 12 to 36 month durability tracking and delayed adverse event surveillance.

What is the EWMA collaboration and how does it help?

Through collaboration with the European Wound Management Association, Eclevar accesses a network of over five hundred wound care specialist investigators across thirty-seven European countries, enabling rapid multi-site survey and registry deployment without the site activation delays of general study networks.

Does Eclevar work on regenerative wound programmes with RegenLab?

Yes. Eclevar manages RegenLab's PMCF programme on chronic wound devices: a randomized study of 160 patients across 14 sites in 5 EU countries covering diabetic foot ulcer and venous leg ulcer indications, combining ISO 14155 clinical expertise with the Milo Studio platform.
