Filter by:This study tests two different approaches to the removal of dead tissue from the surface of a wound.
To compare HP828-101 to standard of care for the management of partial or full thickness wounds
The study is aimed at evaluating the clinician's perceived ease of using the V.A.C. GranuForm bride dressing and the patients perceived level of comfort during the dressing wear.
Diabetic foot ulcers are a challenge to health care professionals because there are only few effective topical therapeutic interventions. Growth factor treatment has shown to be beneficial for healing of diabetic foot ulcers in conjunction with extensive surgical debridement. Autologues platelet releasate which contains platelet derived growth factor appears to be more effective than standard therapy in case studies. This protocol will evaluate the healing effect of Vivostat PRF treatment of non-eschemic foot ulcers to identify responders and to enable sample size calculation for a subsequent pivotal trial.
This study is designed to test a prototype imaging instrument that relies on Medical HyperSpectral Imaging (MHSI) technology for the assessment and prediction of diabetic foot ulceration and wound healing. The imaging system utilizes the biomarkers of oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb) and deoxyhemoglobin (deoxyHb), in the upper layers of skin on the foot as: a metric for assessing wound healing, a reflection of microvascular disease, and determining tissue at risk for forming new ulcers. MHSI results will also be compare with ABI and TcPO2 measurements.
The objective of this project is to further the development of a non-invasive optically based NIR (Near Infrared) device to enable the quantitative diagnosis, monitoring and treatment optimization of chronic wounds (especially diabetic) in a clinical setting. The end goal of this project is a portable and compact device that would be simple to operate by minimally trained health care personnel. Our animal studies have shown that the early healing of chronic wounds can be characterized by absorption and scattering of light at near infrared wavelengths ranging from 680 nm to 950 nm. If our project is successful we will be providing the clinician the ability to predict if a wound is healing and if a particular treatment is successful in accelerating healing before any changes are observed by wound size contraction or other visible clinical signs. Our hope is that the fNIR optical device will provide conclusive therapeutic treatment information as early as 5 weeks after initial evaluation, before it would be obvious on gross examination of the patient.
224 adults with diabetic foot ulcers will be randomized to either magainin peptide (MSI-78) or ofloxacin (FLOXIN, Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical Corporation) an oral fluoroquinolone antibiotic.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the dermaPACE Device to sham application, when administered in conjunction with standard treatments used in the treatment of DFUs.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) increases tissue oxygenation and serves as an adjunct therapy for diabetic wounds. However, some patients have insufficient increase or even paradoxical decrease in tissue O2 due to vasoconstriction. The aim of the present study was to investigate the pathophysiology responsible for the different consequences of HBOT and to evaluate the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on these changes. Methods: Prospective, randomized, cross-over trial including fifty diabetic patients with non-healing ulcers. All patients had two HBOT (100%oxygen, 2ATA) with NAC at the first or the second evaluation. At the beginning and at the end of each evaluation, ulcer oxygenation and plasma levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), total anti-oxidant status (TAOS) and nitric oxide (NO) were measured. Patients with ulcer oxygenation above 200mmHg, were subjected to complete HBOT protocol.
