Filter by:In this research, the patients with chronic wounds accompanied by pain were treated by injecting freshly manufactured tissue permeable hyaluronan fragment HA35 into the tissue under the heath skin immediately surrounding the chronic wounds.
Topical timolol has been used primarily as eye drops to treat glaucoma for many years. Recent clinical experience has broadened its off-label use for a number of skin conditions, including slow-healing wounds. While there have been extensive safety studies performed on timolol administration to treat the eye, to date, no studies have documented absorption of timolol after applied on chronic wounds. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the blood levels of timolol in patients after topical administration to a chronic wound, and compare these levels with those of patients after administration of the same drug formulation on the eye for the indication of glaucoma.
This prospective clinical trial will compare the bacterial burden in the wound bed and on the periwound skin before and after mechanical debridement with EZ Debride using fluorescence imaging. After consenting, the ulcers of eligible subjects are measured, photographed and undergo the MolecuLight imaging procedure (MLiX). The ulcer is mechanically debridement with the EZ Debride device after which a second MLiX procedure is performed. The investigator will then compare the two images.
The study is a randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial designed to compare the ability of NaOCl to NSS in the reduction of bacterial burden in nonhealing acute and chronic wounds.
100 chronic wounds asymptomatic for infection that test positive for bacterial protease activity (BPA) on initial screening (approx 250 wounds in total to be tested) will be randomized to intervention or control. 50 patients will receive intervention (silver antimicrobial dressing) in addition to standard care and 50 will receive standard care only (control). Wound healing at 12 weeks will be compared in addition to costs, patient quality of life, referrals to secondary care, surgical interventions, rates of infection and antibiotic use.
In this prospective observational study, the investigators tried assess the presence of biofilm on chronic wound samples coming from a large cohort study of patients, whilst cross-referencing the clinical, bacteriological and wound care observations.
ALLEVYN◊ Life and Mepilex™ Border are both layered foam dressings with a silicone adhesive wound contact layer. Both are indicated for the same uses; however ALLEVYN◊ Life has a number of attributes designed to meet a range of characteristics associated with principles of wellbeing. The aim for this evaluation is to assess, in a clinical setting and against a number of identified criteria, the performance of the ALLEVYN◊ Life dressing compared to Mepilex™ Border in terms of characteristics of the attributes of wellbeing. ◊ Trademark of Smith & Nephew ™ All trademarks acknowledged
The objective of this study is to collect wound exudate (fluid) swab samples from Subjects who have wounds that show clinical signs of infection, as well as from Subjects who have wounds that do not show clinical signs of infection. Swab samples will be collected from acute and chronic wounds of different etiologies and these will be analysed for bacteria types and markers of infection.
The aim of the study is to determine the safety and feasibility of an autologous mononuclear stem cells infusion in pressure ulcers of paraplegic patients; and moreover, to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of pulse lavage therapy in decreasing bacterial counts in chronic wounds.
